Doing the work, sort of...

Trying my best to get the workouts in but the log tells me it was only 87% of the planned miles last week. The combination of a work trip and poor weather resulted in a total of 60 miles in 5 runs. Two of those were on the treadmill as I attempted to avoid the awful cold weather that had swooped down on us from the arctic. High winds and dangerous windchills were the result so indoors it was.
Today's run, seen here in graphic form included a jaunt across the ocean floor with the tide out and a series of hills which were a real struggle for the legs. This was meant to be an easy recovery run in preparation for yet another long run on Sunday morning with Andrew and Jon. The main challenge will be figuring out the time zones and time of day with Daylight Savings kicking in tonite. Our final decision was to pretend the clocks stayed the same and to meet at the same time, 630 EST (730 Atlantic Canadian), meaning I get to sleep in a bit! (Yes!!)

ORN's

• Tues - 8 miles easy on the treadmill
• Weds - work trip, brought running gear but no treadmill at hotel, -30C windchill
• Thurs - 8 mile on treadmill with 8x800m at 3:20 to 3:30
• Friday - 15 miles with 8 attempted at marathon pace (managed 740 only) on dead legs
• Sat - 9 miles easy on dead, tired legs
• Sun - plan for 21 or more (thinking I need a 3 hr run) with last x at MP
  

Have a good weekend! Wish me luck on the long run.
