week 1

Monday, Day 1 - 3 miles
  • Where: track
  • Time: about 32:00 with 10:39 pace
  • Difficulty: 3
  • Notes: i was able to push the last 200 meters. there's a man who's training a recent graduate for elite status. it's great listening to his encouragement. here's what i picked up: always finish unless you're passed out, bleeding or have a pulled muscle. no other excuses.
Wednesday, Day 2 - 3 miles
  • Where: tack
  • Time: less than 32:00 with 10:36 pace
  • Difficulty: 2
  • Notes: pushed last 100m , finished faster than last time
Thursday, Day 3 - 3.25 miles
  • Where: track
  • Time: 32:17 with 9:56 pace
  • Difficulty: 2
  • Notes: still have pain in back of right calf but it didn't start until the middle of the second mile. Went an extra lap than what training called for and pushed last 200m. didn't feel like i had to take as long to recover after
Saturday, Day 4 - 4 miles
  • Where: loop from home to cemetery, last mile at track
  • Time: ?
  • Difficulty: 5
  • Notes: i messed up the mileage when i mapped the run. luckily i realized the reason i felt so great at the end was because i hadn't run far enough. the last mile was somewhat difficult but i was still able to push the last 100m a bit. half the loop was also up hill so naturally i felt like i wanted to die. i took it clockwise and tackled the greatest incline first and the second half was mostly downhill.
cross training:
Tuesday - 25 minutes of pilates
Friday - nothing :(
Saturday - hour of yoga

total miles:
week - 13.25
all - 13.25
