1/5 to 1/11: Six outta Seven

I hit double digits on six out of seven days this week, but decided against adding on mileage on Saturday. It's always tempting to hit new ground, but I was feeling pretty worn out and after missing just under 2 months last year with an injury 6/7 is better than 10/12...

Anyways, after missing the sub 5 minute mile by half a second, I have decided to give it one more shot before focusing on marathon training. This past week was meant to push the envelope a little bit before easing down prior to the GBTC Invitational on the 19th.

5-Jan		Long Run		0:07:55		15.17		Hosted a CSU long run - 18 people! Good times!
6-Jan		Moderate/Easy		0:07:39		11.58		AM: 7.5 at 7:39 PM: 4 easy miles
7-Jan		Speed				10.00		400x4/600/200x6 - Planned to do an 800, but felt sluggish, then I had to bail to the restroom immediately after finishing the rep. Still no bounce in my step, but I'm happy with the splits. 200's were comfortably fast.
8-Jan		MLR Recovery		0:07:45		10.40		Jogged to the Harvard indoor track and just ran around inside to avoid the bone chilling cold.
9-Jan		Intevals				10.40		800x5/400x4/200x2 - this felt fantastic. 800's felt easy, and 400's were totally in control.
10-Jan		Recovery		0:08:01		10.06		Getting in the miles.
11-Jan		Easy		0:07:34		4.05		Was supposed to be easy, apparently I went a little fast.

I've also been incorporating a lot more cross training. I can't figure out a format to add it in and still be readable, but lets basically just say I'm doing the Myrtl and plank routine nearly everyday.

Total Miles: 71.66
