8/10 to 8/16: "Rest" Week

I hate days off, but this week required a few of them. With the ultimate tourney over the weekend (7 games in total), I had no time to run on Sunday, and on Monday I was really really sore.  Maybe I could have gone out for an easy 4 to 6 miles, but I didn't see the benefit when I was essentially limping. Note: running full speed and diving all day long leaves the body just a little bit shell shocked. Then on Friday, I spent a lot of time in the car driving, and I decided not to force a run and allow myself a down week in terms of total mileage.

So, even with three days "off" - I was incredibly happy with this week. Tuesday marked my return to the track after a ~2 month break, and my legs felt pretty dang good considering how I was feeling on Monday. Then on Thursday I met up with Terry for a tempo around Fresh Pond, and while I'm not entirely sure of the pace, I'm just glad to have a bit of a routine for...I don't know...one week...

Also, I haven't had enough coffee this morning:

10-Aug		Ultimate Tourney		0:08:00		0.50		I did some warm up jogging and probably could put more in here for mileage, but primarily I was busting my ass on the field all day. Three Ultimate games.
11-Aug		Rest		0:00:00		0.00		Really really sore. Too much diving yesterday. Body needs to recover.
12-Aug		Intervals				15.09		AM: Sleepy time PM: 800/(400/600/1200)x2 - felt pretty good!
13-Aug		Moderate		0:07:56		8.67		I don't even know.
14-Aug		Easy/Tempo		0:07:15		15.76		AM: Commute to work PM: Commute home + a tempo with Terry
15-Aug		Easy		0:07:24		4.03		Noon: Easy 4m
16-Aug		Rest		0:00:00		0.00		Lots of driving, rest.
