Training log - week ending 10/20/2024

This week was 54 miles of running and 30 minutes of hiking -- training log is here.

We let Isabella go on Tuesday night.  I was ruminating on the decision for much of Tuesday, and then never slept Tuesday night, so both Tuesday and Wednesday were non-running days.  I did force myself to go to both PT and a massage on Tuesday afternoon, since both were pre-scheduled and skipping them wouldn't have accomplished anything (I couldn't visit Izzie at those times).

I made myself get back to work on Thursday.  All of my runs since have been sluggish/slow - I just can't get my heart rate up.  I'm sure this is because I'm sad and I can't sleep well.  I'm still doing workouts because I know that backing off on the training will just worsen the poor sleeping and give me more time to be sad.

Monday: 10 miles with 8 Iwo Jima hills, followed by leg strengthwork.  Foam rolling in evening.

Tuesday: Off - just PT and a previously scheduled massage.

Wednesday: 30 minute hike and some foam rolling

Thursday: 6 miles very easy (9:53) in the morning.  Later did 2 miles very easy (10:10) plus streaming pilates.   Foam rolling in the evening.

Friday: 10 miles on the track including a 6400m tempo in 30:22 (7:39/7:38/7:36/7:30) plus 2x200 in 54 each.  Followed with leg strengthwork. Foam rolling at night.
