Monday - 7.5 Roads - Felt like crap. Didn't take care of myself for proper recovery from weekend running.
Tuesday - 8 Roads - Felt great as I rehydrated and was well fed. 5lb weight difference in 24 hours. what what?!!?
Wednesday -7 Trail - Post overnight rain. Trails were cool and muddy. Karma loved it as did we.
Thursday - rest
Friday - 8.5 Trail - legs felt great from wednesday afternoon's massage. I wanted to run another 2 hours!
Saturday - 16 Road - You know it's humid (and hot) when your fingers look like raisins after 1 hour of running. Tough day at the office. About 8 miles at 7:25 pace before the lights went out with 3.5 to go.
Sunday - 18 Trail - 4hrs 25 mins total trail time. Probably close to 30 minutes of rest at water refills and some walking, but felt great throughout. Cindy and David joined so pace was slower, but company was highly welcome.
Goal for the week : 60+
Total: 65 miles. 11hrs 32 mins.
Great job re-hydrating and eating after insanely humid Saturday day run and nailed fueling and salts on Sunday's trail run. I've been getting very crampy calves about 3 hours in to most of my trail runs over the last 5 weeks, so today I decided to switch to fuel and salt tabs at 35 min intervals instead of 45. What a difference. Although the pace was considerably slower than when i run alone, it was very encouraging to not have any sign of calf spasms or post run toe cramps.
We had a good laugh as I launched myself into a nice superman style fall due to not paying attention to a clearly visible "root-snake" on the trail. Thankfully it was just a dirt trail so no major damage other than a sore right big toe and just a scrape here and there. I was well overdue for a fall.
A welcome recovery week next week. 35-45 miles maybe?
