This week was 48 miles of running, 1000 yards of swimming and xx "miles" of pool-running -- training log is here.
Raced a 10K, had a bad race. It happens occasionally, though (like everyone else) I really wish it wouldn't.
In reflection, I think there were a few things that contributed to my asthma flaring. One was obviously the cold dry air. However, it wasn't THAT cold and dry, and I've run well in such in the past.
I get a monthly injection of a drug called Xolair (legal under USADA) to control my asthma, and I'm due for my next shot on Monday. That sometimes wears off in the last few days of the month, and that may be the case here.
Also, I've found that I run better in any sort of weather when I'm acclimated. And guess who did her shakeout run on the treadmill in 68 degrees on Friday to avoid black ice? Maybe that contributed slightly (or maybe not).
All notes for next time.
