"A lot of people run a race to see who is fastest. I run to see who has the most guts, who can punish himself into exhausting pace, and then at the end, punish himself even more." (Steve Prefontaine)

Back from taking some time to get over complete and utter burnout. Now that I'm ready to get moving again, my Garmin seems to have responded to the neglect by refusing to charge. It's all good, though, as I think I need to just move and not concentrate on speed or distance for a while.
Monday - walked 30 minutes; 2 miles(?)

Eliz - You may need to clean the charge thingies and clean the crud off. Take an eraser to them.
Erika - Am feeling good. 'Cause my friend was having such a hard time, the second 17 miles weren't exactly taxing. But maybe that's a good thing.
Hi guys, sorry I wasn't around last week. Things were just a little crazy, which didn't help motivating me to work out. Only did 23.2 kilometers last week, 1xLB and 1xUB plus 1xabs.
MON...8.8 kilometers easy run in the drizzling rain. Nice though, to be out again early and watch the sun come up Plus a 50min UB w/o (chest/shoulders/biceps).
TUE....hill w/o:
wu: 5min@ 8.5K and 5min @ 9.0K hills @ 9K/h 1 min @ 2-3-4-5% with a 1 min recovery @ 0% after each "hill" 1 min walk break speed pyramid 30 sec @ 9.0-9.5-10.0-10.5-11.0-11.5K/h, then down the pyramid again 1 min walk break hill pyramid @ 9K/h 1 min @ 2-3-4-5-4-3-2%, no recoveries inbetween 1 min walk break speed pyramid 30 sec @ 9.0-9.5-10.0-10.5-11.0-11.5K/h, then down the pyramid again 1 min walk break hills@9K/h 1 min @ 5-4-3-2% with a 1 min recovery @ 0% inbetween finish @ 9K/h and 0% incline to get to 7.5 kilometers
WED...interval w/o:
10 min warm up @ 9.0K
plus a LB w/o (STS Plyo)
THU.....
Nothing, first a friend dropped by unexpectedly (again), then my textbooks for my new course arrived...and well the day got away from me.
FRI......
Nothing. I went to bed really late yesterday (for me), skimming through my new text books, and I paid for it this morning. I was up, had a coffee, then went back to bed I'm really no good if I don't get to bed by 10PM at the latest.
SAT.....
Nothing. Started in my textbook still in my PJs, forgot about the time. By 9 AM I realised I had loads of stuff to do. I had to go into town to run errands, I had to get groceries, I had to.... Well, the run just didn't happen. And stupid me just should've put my running shoes on when walking the dogs. Even if I was going for 2.5kms only.
I have to write down a schedule for studying and running/training. And STICK to it. Otherwise, either my running is going to suffer (got a roparun relay to prep for) or my studying is going to suffer (test is 2 weeks after the roparun relay).
SUN....
Here's my solution to the study/run problem. On days I have to go to work, running is no problem. Or at least shouldn't be On my off days (the weekend and Thu) I have to make sure that I'm the one walking the dogs early morning, cause even if it's a short walk, I just have to put my running shoes on, and take them out for a doggie run. I at least will have had a short run in, or, I probably continue my run after dropping Spike of at home cause I'll be in running mode by then
I started this morning with a 6 kilometer doggie run and added a 10 miler on the TM cause we're in the middle of a storm.
Running mileage: 43.8 kilometers, not bad for someone who skipped "2" runs
Biking mileage: 0 kilometers
UB: 1x
LB: 1x
Abs: 0x
DutchieRun the day, or the day runs you.
