my wife is a half marathon slayer
robin killed it in the half marathon over the weekend. for someone who had major back issues not that long ago, it is amazing to see how well she has done over the past year (triathalon, fat tire and now this). i'm VERY proud of her!
my training has been ok (if not compulsive). i didn't race over the weekend and will not next weekend so i'm a little lost for what i should be doing. it is times like these where i wish i had a coach to give me some non-subjective guidance. friday night i ran 6 miles and felt pretty good doing so. saturday afternoon i got out on the cross bike riding on the military ridge/quarry ridge/badger prairie trails. i feel pretty luck to have all these non-road options close by (and more scheduled to be built next year). yesterday, we had errands to run plus there was a chilly mid-day rain that kept me indoors for longer than i had wanted. i did manage to do 8 miles of running on trails and again felt great. we finished the night carving pumpkins with calvin although he was a lot less interested than i thought he'd be.
training for the week:
m: 1:15 (commute)
t: 0 (much needed rest day)
w: 1:45 (bike)
r: 1:15 (commute)
f: 0:45 (road run)
s: 1:45 (bike)
n: 1:00 (trail run)
total: 7 hrs 45 min
a great mix of training modalities. i'm not sure if running will help my cross racing but with the impending time change it is going to become an even bigger part of my fitness/training routine. i'm still going to try and commute by bike 3 times per week but starting training rides in the dark is not always a strength of mine (but i have no problem running at night).
happy monday.
