BACK TO WORK

AM-easy warm up.  Lifted hard this morning.

PM-Kire and I went to dhhs treamills.  I went a fast 3.

AM-nothing

PM-hidden valley park loop, and then 2X200@32; 1X400@1:17; and then mr. d's loop.

AM-Lifted w/ watson

PM-bloomington bridge loop from dhhs w/ kids.

AM-easy spectrum w/ burk, mark, and sharpie

PM-kids did speed work. 5X2 min on, 2 min off; 5X1 min on, 1 min off; 2X1/2 min on, 1/2 min off and cool down.

I decided not to run w/ them and run w/ the club tonight.  I got there late, so chad and I got left.  We clipped along pretty good for the 1st 2, but then backed off for the rest of the run.

I must throw away my old faithful Bostons now.  THey really cramp my feet up and hurt my toes.  I don't know why.  I can also tellthey are broken down pretty bad.  Theat was my last pair of four of the same style.  looks like it is time to get some new pedals! 

AM-Bak and shoulders w/ watson.  My lower back has started to really hurt the last week.  I think I am lifting too heavy now, and I am going to start to scale back the lifting before the 1/2 marathon in March. 

AM-beautiful clear morning.  I decided to do the flying j figure 8 from the house.  The first 2 miles I was trying to work out some hitches, but then I got into it fairly well.  I hit the next six almost exactly at marathon pace.  The next 2 was a little slower through blomington hills, and then I pushed hit a little harder on the south side of the trail.  I did finish down at rustic, since I could tell I wasn't going to get my full 14 in unless I did.  My legs felt great.  My back is still bothering me a little.  This week was supposed to be a smaller mileage week, but with this long run, I hit 40 again.  I was quite tired by the PM, so I got a nice long nap in.
