Crack of Dawn

Inspired by my fellow runners in the Lake to Lake Relay, I woke up at 5 am and ran 3.5 miles. Later at lunch I ran another 1.5 miles.

By the recommendation of my Triathlon trainer, I'm taking fish oil, flaxseed oil, and glycogen. My joints feel better. I'll be consuming protein shakes before my workouts.

Training Log

Thursday

I ran 4 miles in 46.14.20. I sprinted the last lap. Next time I plan on sprinting the last two laps. And I'll gradually add a lap to sprinting on the end of my distance so that I'm always improving my speed.

Tuesday

I ran 4 miles at the field house in 43:38.43 during lunch. I was slow but I put in the distance and its about time.

Mon Night

I ran 2 miles@6mph on the treadmill. I should be running 4 miles but I ran at 10p. I wasn't going to go to sleep without running. Today I'm going to run during lunch at the field house.

New PR for Swimming

1000 yards in 19.44.17

Wednesday night

I have scouts tonight but I will run 4 miles after scout meeting.

Followup: I didn't end up running. I got wrapped up in installing a new video card.

Mon Night

I need to run 4 miles tonight. My plan is to do 8 times: .25 miles & 8mph, .25@4mph
but that may be overly ambitious. At any rate I'll make sure I put in the distance. I'm going to run on the treadmill because the cold is too daunting for me.

I didn't end up running Monday night. This was due in part to the weather (took me an extra hour and a half to get home) and helping my mother with her computer (took an additional hour).

I did swim on Monday during lunch but that really isn't going to help me with the half-marathon.
