what a change. At the turn of the year I was averaging more than
50mpw and had been doing so since mid October. Then sometime in mid
January I caught a nasty cold. The weather turned to the coldest
temps just as I was recovering, and tinkering with the insides of my
new computer at home was too much of a distraction to start running
again for about 3 weeks. The 1.5 and 2 mile runs are runs to
Blockbuster to get movies. Finally got myself back into a routine and
sickness hit the rest of my household in a way that I couldn't justify
running more than once that week (Valentine's week). Then I started
running again, this time with a "this might be the last run of my life
so I better make it good" kind of urgency. Every run up to now was on
the same hilly 7 miles. HR averages range over 165 and maxes above
185. (I think my real max is about 191).
The good news is my family is +1 daughter, born March 6th.
Where do I go from here? I suppose I'll do a local 5 mile race
(doyle's emerald necklace 4/22). Hope to get back to 40+ slow miles
per week with 5-10 fast miles per week by the end of April, before I
hurt myself running these threshold stabbing runs.
