Week 16: Today is a new beginning

Vacation is over, so it time to start over and kick training back in gear again.  The plan listed below has kind of been rearrange due lack of focus while away playing.   I will note the differences below.

Day:             Plan                        Actual              
Monday:      60 Minute Run       14miles @ 12:07 pace
Tuesday:      3(15minx3min)      2.5(15x3min)          
Wednesday: Cross Train             Trainer Day
Thursday:    60 Minute Run       54min @ 10:34 pace
Friday:         60 Minute Run       Played at Disney
Saturday:     cross train               Played at Disney
Sunday:       20 miles                  18 miles at 12:29 pace

Since I missed my long run on Sunday, I ended up moving my trainer session to wednesday and tried to cram in a long run, my goal was to get as many miles in as I could before 8 pm.   Ended up being 14 miles.    Probably a good thing I didn't do more.  My right toe join was incomplete pain by about mile 7 and my right hamstrings were completely ceasing up, lower back was unhappy.  When I finished my run I could barely walk, and go up and down the stairs was no bueno.  I'm hoping I'm just still tired from traveling and that this isn't going to be an every long run occurrence.

On Tuesday, my toe joint hurt to put pressure on it through out the day at work.  I attempted to tape it for track night and that seemed to do the trick, but as soon as I took the tape off it was back in pain.  I ended up working late, and showed up late to track.   Jumped in, in the middle of the first set.   Overall I was sluggish,  I struggled at keeping the pace below a 10 minute mile.  And got a bad side ache on the last set.  But I finished and will become stronger for pushing through the tough days.

Wednesday was trainer day.  (Don't remember much about it,  sorry Kei).  

Thursday I joined SBRC at sketchers for a 5 mile hill loop.  Overall I felt pretty good.

Friday, my best friend from high school was at Disneyland, so I skipped the run and hung out with her and her kiddos Friday and saturday.  I did end up getting about 7.5 miles in walking  on Friday and another 7.0 miles Saturday at Disney.

Sunday-time to go long.   I revisited my schedule and noticed that I had a 20 miler scheduled this week followed by a back off week next week, then the santa monica classic the week later.   I ended up deciding jumping from 14 to 20 would not be a good idea, so I decided I would do 18 this week, and 20 next week with no back off before Santa Monica 10k.   Overall the 18 miler went okay,  I was quite happy when it was over.   At about Mile 11 my toe joint started hurting again, and then by mile 15 my right hamstring was not happy.  But I survived and managed to get it done, with no advil or tylenol, which is always a plus.

Training Grade: A-
Nutrition Grade: B

Nutrition wasn't bad was good this week.  We had a few Freshly Meals and few home cooked meals.  I was pretty good about eating healthy at lunch time.  But the Disney magic gets me everytime.
