Grrr...my wifi at home sucks. There is nothing wrong with my laptop and the internet connection appears to be good but my email is unreliable and internet connection is crappy at best. Guess I'll have to call the guy who set it up and get him to sort it out.
Thursday - 4 miles easy, 4 miles steady state. Silver dog came along and hung on pretty good - if I recall it was a little warm that afternoon so she was lagging by the end. Had a great session jumping Riley - he has really come along and is very relaxed about the whole thing.
Friday - off
Saturday - Soulbuster. Woke up with my alarm at 4:15 am. Lay there for a few minutes trying to remember why I was getting up and what day it was. Got up and got myself together.
Ran the first 10 miles or so conservatively so I would be strong in the hills and have a decent run on the track. Ran up Mt Bonnell faster than anyother time. Cautious on the steeper downhills because they just kill my feet. Got passed by 2 ladies just flying up Mountain Climb. Ran almost the entire run alone with just my I Pod for company - worked just fine. Carried my own water - big difference not having to stop for water - I did stop twice for power ade though. Was able to GU when I wanted to - not just when there was water. Felt great on North Hills on my way back to the track. None of the usual aches and pains. Hit the track right away and nailed each of the 4 miles - first 2 7:37 each, 3rd 7:33, 4th 7:23. Yay!! Total redemption for the crappy soul buster we had in December. Got wet in the rain cheering the last runners in.
Sunday - Ran 6.45 miles with Silver dog. First 4 miles tough but the last 2 and change felt great. Nice sunny day with a light wind.
Went to Karen's chi running clinic in the afternoon in my quest to improve my running mechanics. Helpful but it is going to take a lot of focus on my part to break som of my old habits.
Sunday.
