The Training Week That Was... 2/2-2/8

Last evening was our last Indoor Track & Field meet of the season (save one athlete--and possibly two--who will be continuing on to State Qualifiers in two weeks), so I shoudl be able to once again get into some sort of training rhythm... at least until the Outdoor Modified Track season in about six weeks.

Here is the very brief breakdown of this week's confidence building activities:
Legend: R = Running, ri = recovery interval, ez = easy, mt = mid-tempo, wu = warm-up, cd = cool down, ez = easy, B = Stationary Bicycle

Monday: Rest
Tuesday: R 4.8 miles
Wednesday-Friday: zero/zilch/nada miles
Saturday: R 9.4 miles
Sunday: R 6.3 miles

TOTAL MILEAGE: R 20.5 miles (+14.6 miles from the previous week!)
Weigh-In*: 189.5lbs. (+1.5 lbs. from two weeks ago) [* @ 4:45 a.m. on 2/9/09]
The increasing temps which we were blessed with in the latter days of the week certainly helped in getting me up and out. In an effort to balance my training on "off-days" from running, I also purchased some free weight dumb bells for easy light lifting in an effort to take a more well-rounded approach to my training.

Though I've enjoyed coaching this past winter season, I'm looking forward to devoting more time to my family and running... up first, next weekend's fifth race of the Freezeroo Series, the Valentine's Day Race in Memory of Tom Brannon (8 miles).

Embrassez votre été invincible!
