AM - 5 miles w/ Andrea... easy morning! Some of the roads were very slippery. We ran an extended version of horsepark loop, through the snow. Big workout on tap for the afternoon...

PM - 10 miles. Ugh, the afternoon didn't go as planned. Decided on doing 3 x 3 miles at @ MP or a little faster. Warmed up, then did the first rep in 15:44 (5:15, 5:14, 5:15). Legs felt great but my stomach went into knots during the recovery jog. As soon as I started the second rep I had to stop within 5 seconds - it wasn't happening, and if I forced it, things were gonna get ugly (you know what I mean). So I jogged home, barely made it, used the restroom, then by that point the workout was shot, so I just jogged around the block for a few miles and called it a day. Now I feel like I took the day off.

Good luck this afternoon.

What are you doing this afternoon?

Probably a 4-3-2-1 cut-down

I want my "big" effort this week to be the 15K... so I'm scaling this one back a little... get in some MP miles and maybe a little faster, but save the threshold running for Saturday.

Sorry that you didn't get your full workout in, the 3 mile effort was still very solid.

What are you shooting for at the 15k?

I hate it when that happens. Think of the positive though. You should have extra juice to bust a fast time this weekend! Best of luck at the race, although for you I'd say you've made your own luck.

Only 15 miles? Slacker.

TP- never leave home without it.

We'll chalk this up as a kinda-sorta-extra recovery day. Probably a good thing since the long run went longer than planned on Saturday.

ACorn - if its not too windy, I think I'll shoot for around 48 flat. I'll try to split 32ish for 10K and see what happens from there... a negative split effort would be nice. As far as I can tell, only one person has ever broken 49 on that course.

Jon - TP is useful on the trails, but not when you are running a 1.5 mile loop around the neighborhood with kids out playing in their front yards!

Geez, it got ugly for me yesterday too. :) Luckily I was out in the middle of nowhere with nobody around.
