Tuesday:
7 AM: 1 hour at the gym... one of my favorite workouts... went full send this morning... sure I will regret that but oh well...
1 PM: 7.5 miles w/ 400ft of gain averaging 8min miles. Neighborhood jog from the house. Mixture of road and crush gravel paths around the lake. Actually a great route but did down pour on me the last 1.5 miles which was chilly due to not having a shirt on. Kind of blew my wad at Crossfit this morning so this was more of just movement than training.
4 PM: 25 mins in the sauna followed by the new ice plunge I put in the garage gym for 4 mins. My setup was only $90 verses the one at the gym that was $5K. The one at the gym stays cold without ice but you can by a lot of ice for $4900... Giddy Up!
Wednesday:
Finished book number 13 this morning.... trying to get back on the reading train again after a few weeks of not having the urge to read.
9 AM: 6.9 miles w/ 500ft of vert averaging 7:45pace. Easy miles on the Dirty Bizmark from the Coalton Trailhead going over and back on the hill. Was running faster than I thought at certain points which was nice and I had to pull myself back some. Awesome morning in the sunshine.
-NOTE: No weight check this morning, had to get up at 3:00am to take Paula to the airport for an early ass flight..
-- A day totally off. Venus came to hang with me all day until the dog sitter could arrive since Paula is out of town. Just a couple of short walks throughout the day but that is it. Really pondering if I am done with ultras today for some reason. Really don't want to go this weekend. Lots of other thoughts about racing anymore. More on that later I guess.
Friday:
7:00 AM: 4 miles averaging 8min pace followed by 15mins of stretching and a cold plunge. Easy neighborhood shakeout jog before hitting the road for New Mexico at 9am. Super chill.
Saturday:
5 AM: 32.3 miles w/ 6200ft of vert in 6:40ish. Jemez 50K- Was signed up for the 50 miler but dropped down due to massive diarrhea the 15 miles or so. Something I ate the day before while traveling was not sitting well. Was tempted to drop but wanted a finish considering how far of a drive it was to get here. About mile 20, the butt calmed down but around mile 28 the legs locked up and walked it in the last 4 miles like I was the Tin Man... I am totally lost on why this happened and honestly have thoughts of dropping from Hardrock and being done with ultras. Will be doing a lot of reflecting this week. One thing that I did come up with is since the Dirty Thirty 50K is no longer around as of this year, this 50K just may become the yearly replacement for it if I keep running them. I liked the race that much.
6 AM: Walk 3 miles in an hour. Could not sleep waking up at 5am. So not to wake up Donnie I went for a walk for a while he slept in some before driving the 6 hours home. If I come back next year I will build in a few extra days to explore the area for sure. Stiff as shit this morning.
Total Weekly Numbers
Not a great week and not a bad week. If I would have known I was only going to do a 50K I would have ran more this week and not tapered as much. Need to do a lot of reflecting this week to see what my future holds for the rest of the year....
