10/25/15 to 10/31/15: Putting in the Work

Every week, I get the blog post started pretty quickly on Monday morning.  I copy & paste the past week's training, type in the splits from that weeks workout(s), and then....nothing.  I stare at the screen hoping to have a spark of creativity, but then I get a work email.  The next day it's the same thing.  Finally, Friday afternoon rolls around and the offices are empty and all is quiet(ish), I am able to come up with something.  Nothing great, because I'm still tired as eff, but that's just the way it is when you're working for the man.

This week YOU'RE lucky- instead of waiting a few more days, here it is.

The running:

25-Oct		Long Run		2:10:23		17.08		AM: Battle Road.  17+ at about 7:40ish.  Finished up quicker and felt pretty good.
26-Oct		Easy/Moderate		2:08:36		17.2		AM: 7+ commute at 7:36/mile. PM:10+ at around 7:23/mile.
27-Oct		Easy/Intervals		2:15:24		17.58		AM: 7+ at whatever.  Left hamstring did not feel good this morning.  Did see a hilarious person doing Tai Chi along the Charles though. PM: 10+ ran to and from the track, but skipped the workout.  Hamstring is definitely injured…from what, I'm not sure.
28-Oct		Easy/Easy		1:56:02		14.7		AM: 7+ and the hamstring was tender, but not as bad as yesterday. PM: 7+ with a stop at TJs for taco stuff.
29-Oct		Easy/Tempo		2:10:09		16.81		AM: 7+ at 8min. PM: Commute + Fresh Pond 1-lapper at about 6:25 pace.
30-Oct		Easy/Easy		1:28:54		11.8		AM: 7+ at about 7:35/mile. PM: 4.75 at 7:20/mile.
31-Oct		Tempo/Speed		0:47:32		6.14		Fresh Pond in 14:10, then 200/400x4 at Danehy.  Left hamstring tightened up on the last interval, but this was a good spot to stop.  I don't think I would've hit 8-10 after the Fresh Pond lap.
