Catch Up - Week of 10/17-10/22

This is week two of the Chicago recovery. It has been a weird week. I had to fly to San Jose for work on Tuesday and was there through Thursday night. On Tuesday night I got up to go to the bathroom and passed out. I banged up my face pretty good. I guess I just got up to fast or something. My face looks and feels better, but I realy bruised my face under my mustache and that still hurts.

I did cross train twice while in California. I did 30 minutes on Weds and 36 minutes on Thursday. On Thursday I did a glute workout which was really good. I got home late Thursday night and had an early meeting on Friday so no running or exercise that day. Yesterday I ran 4 miles in the neighborhood and felt really good. I ran 4 miles in 33:56/8:16 pace.

Tomorrow I am going to start a week of longer easy runs and then rejoin the Gazelles for their long run on Saturday and hard workouts next Monday. I am eager to get back in the swing of things. It has been nice sleep late, drinking beer, and eating, but I am gaining weight and feel sluggish.
