11/8/15 to 11/14/15: Down Week

I started the week off with a solid long run, then quickly came down with a nasty cold on Sunday night - waking up multiple times and overall getting little sleep.  On Monday I worked from home in the morning, then napped for 2+ hours in the afternoon.  I had no hesitation about taking the day off, but it was sort of a bummer to stop my consecutive-days-running streak at 64 as well as stopping my 100+  miles/week streak at eight weeks.

Nonetheless, eight weeks in a row at 100+ is a huge step.  I didn't plan to run that mileage, but staying healthy the whole time is an encouraging sign...what that sign is, I'm not quite sure.

Here is the stuff:

8-Nov		Long Run		2:15:52		17		AM: Battle Road, 17 at 7:34.
9-Nov		Easy/Moderate		0:00:00		0		AM: 0, sick. PM: sick. 70 Day streak ends today
10-Nov		Easy/Intervals		0:37:09		5.02		AM: Late morning 5m at 7:25.  Still a bit sick. PM: Rest.
11-Nov		Easy/Easy		1:52:13		15.22		AM: 7+ at 7:39. PM: 8+ tot.  6m controlled tempo at around 6:45/mile  + 6 short hill sprints.
12-Nov		Easy/Speed		2:38:01		19.26		AM: 7+ at 7:45. PM: Commute straight to Harvard, 400x6/200x2.  I'm just not adjusting well to these workouts, and I think this cold is still lingering.
13-Nov		Easy/Easy		1:46:35		13.2		AM: 7+ at 8min. PM: 6+ at 8min.
14-Nov		Tempo		0:42:49		6.55		Fresh Pond 2 lapper in 29:55.  Felt pretty relaxed the whole time, a good sign.
