memory fog...

last week, this week?? can't remember where i'm at. thinking back to last week i can't remember what i did and the watch doesn't help as it only stores 5 or 6 runs in the memory. before everything fades here's what i can remember. so much for my commitment to keeping a training log this year...

training:

prior to friday (16 april): about 100km of running over 4 days


friday: rest day but concluded with a power yoga session (10pm)

saturday: 46km trail run (~5h30)hellgate loop. great day but was emotionally crippled during the first half of the run and battled to find the energy or desire to run. finished feeling strong over the second half which provided a glimmer of hope.

sunday: recovery day spent cleaning house (not mine). concluded with a yoga session (11pm)

monday: 6am) 11k road run (49′36″)underpass loop

4pm) track session: 28×400m w/ 45″ rest3k wu/4k wd – total 17k (1h21′). great session averaging 84sec/400 which was about 6-8 seconds better than last time i did this session. started out running 88-90sec and finished up the last 20min running 80-82sec. never felt like i was pushing too hard, breathing was easy and accumulating little lactic acid. even enjoyed listening to an audio book rather than needing something a little heavier to pull me through. a confidence builder…

tuesday: 16km hilly run (1h10') - ran from work and headed up into the hills. felt tired but still managed to find my climbing legs and make it back to work a minute quicker than last time i ran the loop. planned on running a second run later but stuff happens...

wednesday: 10k easy run - easy run to work felt not so easy. haven't slept well since news of death. funeral today...
