Another cutback week. I had planned to cut back mileage some for Army 10 Miler, anyway. Then I picked up a bit of a bug early in the week - nothing horrible, but enough for me to decide to avoid the gym and yoga on Wednesday - I really prefer to avoid others if I'm even possibly contagious. To that point, yes, I feel bad about going to track on Tuesday - I just didn't figure out that I was coming down with something until after. Luckily, I don't think I gave my bug to anyone. Also lucky that it hit early enough in the week to be cleared out of my system for the weekend.
Dailies
Monday: Yoga in the morning, foam rolling at night.
Tuesday: In the morning, 7 miles, including a track workout of 6x800 (splits of 2:59, 2:54, 2:54, 2:54, 2:54, 2:58). Felt dizzy during the workout, so shut it down. Felt even worse post workout, so skipped the cooldown and injury prevention stuff. Ended up calling it a half day at work also, and just crashing the balance of the day.
Wednesday: Felt lousy in the morning, so slept in and then went for a jog to see how I felt. I didn't feel any worse as I ran, and maybe even a bit better, so I ended up doing an easy 10. Good decision/bad decision? Who knows? Foam rolling in the afternoon.
Thursday: Felt better. In the morning, 7 miles easy plus some injury prevention work. Foam rolling in the afternoon.
Friday: Felt fine. 7 miles easy, including a one mile pick-up in 6:17. Foam rolling in the afternoon.
Saturday: 750 yards very easy swimming in the morning. Foam rolling in afternoon.
Sunday: 3 miles warm-up, then 10 mile race in 1:07:10, followed by mile jog back to metro. In the afternoon, did injury prevention work, 1250 yards of shakeout swimming and foam rolling.
