Monday – 22.2 Miles
Since I missed my long run over the weekend, I had some catching up to do. 8:28 pace while I slipped and slid over the same 2 mile path over and over again.
Tuesday – 8 Miles, 15 miles biking on trainer
I tried to take it easy but ended up in the grey of 7:45 pace on incline 2. My spin class got canceled cause of the winter storm we had, so I biked 15 miles at 17MPH according to the Garmin. Who knows if that’s even true.
Wednesday – 10 Miles
Ran this in two parts, 8 miles at incline 3, 2 at incline 2. Average pace 8:05 per my notes but I forgot what each individual run was
Thursday – 8 Miles
7:37 Pace during lunch. Tried harder but did not reach my 7:30 pace. Bad sleep, lots of coughing. Went to a 7:30PM spin class afterwork. Don’t know my distance for that.
Friday – 2 Miles
Just a little shake to break a sweat for 15 minutes or so at home.
Saturday – 20.25 Miles 8:12 Pace
Final long run before New Orleans.I was suppose to wake up at 4:30 AM to run a 50K at the Cape, but due to potential snowstorm we bailed and I slept in til the afternoon.
The weather warmed up a bit to 30s, but the wind, wind was brutal. I actually opened my door, got blasted with a gust of wind and went back and changed into my windbreaker. I hated the orange Boston jacket when I first got it, but after seeing the 2014 colors, I’m feeling better and better about my shade of orange.
I held to 8 minute pace for 15 miles on a flat path were 24 MPH winds were against me half the time, but as I wrapping up into my 20 miler, getting the last miles done was painful.
I was definitely dragging myself mentally and physically for the final 5K.
Sunday – 15 Miles Trainer ride
Kicked of my taper week with just a short biking session
Actually I spent most of my day doing things like kitty salon for Jack Meower
Total Mileage – 70 ran, 30 biked + 1 spin
Total Feeling – Pretty good! Wish I had 3 weekends all the time, I’d become a super athlete then.
New Orleans in 6 days! Are you running?

QOTD – How did your workout week go?
Ha! I can’t believe you painted your cat’s toenails!!!
The Cape Cod 50K was awesome, but the wind was INSANE!! Definitely the most extreme conditions I’ve ever raced in, but I’m glad I went, and I want to make it a yearly tradition!
OMG the fancy nails are so funny! Great training week! I think there’s a collective gasp whenever the BAA strays from the classic blue and yellow.
Heckuva week! I was happy with my training over the last week, though it didn’t approach yours!
