July Catch Up - 7/10 - 7/19
I have been very busy with work and traveling so my blog has become a bit stale. Below is a recap of about 10 days.
7/10 - Run with Wish in the neighborhood. We did two loops in the park and then back home.
Stats - 5.93 miles/53:32/9:01 pace
AHR - 132
MHR - 154
7/13 - LSR with Wish's "Old Guys" - I took Friday and Saturday off because we had to pick up Emma at Camp Mo Ranch on Saturday. I ran with Wish's group for a tour of Mt. Bonnell and then up Mt. Barker. It was a really hilly run and I wasn't feeling so good due to lack of water. The distance felt a lot longer, but I survived.
Stats - 11.25 miles/1:41:07/8:59 pace
AHR - 139
MHR - 163
7/14 - Recovery run at home - Since I went long yesterday and had to fly to San Jose for work I slept in and ran at home. I just wanted to get 45 minutes in.
Stats - 5.16 miles/45:01/8:43 pace
AHR - 138
MHR - 156
7/15 - Gym Run and Weights - I had an early meeting today so I hit the Sun workout facility in Menlo Park where I ran and lifted weights. It was a shame to be inside because it was so nice and cool outside.
Stats - 5.3 miles/45:00/8:29 pace
7/16 - 4 Mile Tempo and the Alameda Creek Trail - Today I tried to simulate our 4 mile tempo run on a very nice trail that runs into the SF bay. I did a 1.5 mile warmup and then started on the 4 mile tempo. I was not feeling too good due to the beers I had last night, but I wanted to see where I was at for the four miles. My splits were 7:36, 7:50, 7:37, and 7:28 for a 30:33. That is very slow for me, but I have plenty of time before my marathon and running this workout by yourself just sucks.
Stats - 6 Miles
Tempo - 4 miles/30:33/7:38 pace
7/17 - Recovery Run - I returned to the Alameda Creek Trail for a 6 mile recovery run. The temps were nice and cool in the high 50s just like yesterday. I really enjoyed this run.
Stats - 6.02 Miles/52:05/8:39 pace
7/19 - LSR with the Group - It was nice to get back to Austin and run with my group today. We ran up Exposition and then up Shoal Creek to Hancock. We did the backward Scenic return where my stomach blew up once I got to the top of the hill. Thank goodness there was a potty at the top that saved me. It was a good run and I finished fast after I emptied out. My last 3 miles were 8:15, 8:15, and 8:25.
Stats - 14.15 miles/2:05:02/8:50 pace
AHR - 139
MHR - 159
