3/9 to 3/15: Mini Taper

Nothing really special this week except only one double, and reducing the number of repeats on the track. I also took my first day off in about a month to try and give my joints a rest. Still, after a second glance I had a solid long run, two track workouts, and a reasonably quick double on Friday.

This was also a big week for working on the kitchen countertops (DIY poured concrete). Didn't have dinner until like 10:30 for most nights this week, and not until midnight on Friday during a massive push to make sure I wasn't doing any heavy lifting the day before the New Bedford Half...I have the feeling that still exhausted me quite a bit for the weekend though.

Here it is:

9-Mar		Long Run		0:07:48		22		A pretty sluggish long run. Continue to feel lots of aches and pains, though nothing major.
10-Mar		Recovery		0:08:00		4.04		Easy recovery.
11-Mar		Mile Repeats				11.25		4m at 7:09/mile followed by strides then 1600x4
12-Mar		Rest				0		First day off in a while.
13-Mar		Intervals				10.67		800x6 - run at ~5:40 pace pretty evenly. Legs still feel pretty stiff and achy.
14-Mar		Moderate/Moderate		0:07:18		9.45		AM: 4.03 at 7:19/mile PM: 5.42 at 7:18/mile
15-Mar		Easy		0:08:00		4.09		Easy jog to marathon sports
