Notes OBJECTIVE
4M LHR < 133 bpm

My body and brain was telling me I needed a break. My left hamstring and left heel have been nagging. I'm also concerned that I'm dealing with the same thing (undiagnosed) that sidelined me last year at this time. That situation resulted in an incorrect diagnosis (adult onset asthma). I'm tryiing to be scientific about it and figure out what the problem is myself. My current theory is that I'm allergic to mold or spores or something that is more prevalent in winter than other times of the year. To be continued ....

20M Fast Finish

Average cadence 92 rpm Max. cadence 96 rpm
Weather Heavy rain; 60.7 °F
Notes OBJECTIVE
20M w/16M EZ & 4M @ 7:45-55

The lead group was pulling hard today. I didn't control my pace very well early on and paid a bit in the late stages.

I was going the longest today so most others finished after 14M. Ran with Lindsay and Jeff until they were finished then spent the last 4M on my own. Tried to pickup as best I could. Calves were very stiff and left hamstring was not 100%. I suspect the Saucony A2's that I raced in Thursday. Are the cause.

Need to get back into the swing of things. Work should begin to settle down after this coming week. After 2 very good training weeks, the past 2 weeks have not been good at all.

Houston 10k Turkey Trot

 

Summary

Name Houston Turkey Trot
Location Houston, TX
Start Time 11/27/2014 7:35 AM (UTC-06:00) Category My Activities:Running
Distance 6.23 mi Time 00:44:11.0
Time Moving 00:44:11.0 Stopped 00:00:00.0
Average pace 07:05 min/mi Max. pace 05:51 min/mi
Weather Sunny; 49.4 °F
Notes OBJECTIVE
Race hard to determine my current fitness. Super stretch goal was to PR.

After being in NYC for work since Sunday, I wasn't sure if I would be racing today. Return flight yesterday was delayed due to weather in NYC (and Chicago where plane was coming from). Ended up getting home late and to bed a little after 11 pm. Didn't set alarm. Figured if I woke up in time to race, I'd go. If not, ... then my body must have needed the rest.

Woke up in time. Cool temps very much to my liking this morning. Got the the event location. Still had to register. Day-of-race registration did not include a timing chip. Made way to starting line. Didn't fight my way to the front. We was a long way back.

Don't know how long it took to get to the starting line after the gun. Maybe 5 minutes. Spent first 2.5 miles going as fast as the crowd would allow for. Was zig zagging all over the road. In hindsight, it probably kept my mind focused on something other than time and pace.

Once I found running room, started recalibrating goals. Just wanted to go fast. Went into "race mode"; i.e., find someone up ahead and pick them off. Kept doing this over and over. I believe I was only passed twice during the last half. The first guy around 4 miles but I missed him back shortly thereafter. The second guy passed me around Mile 6. Not sure if I passed him back or not.

Generally happy with 44:11 given the circumstances. It isn't the ideal time for me at this stage of training. But I've had less than adequate rest, nutrition and hydration the past week.

On the results website, a 44:11 was good for 217th place.

16M alternating miles between between 8:30 & 7:30

Started out with the group and held to the plan until about 10.5 miles in then ran with Augie from the Shell Station around the Park to 610 and back.

Lost the past week to work (year-end close activities) and thought I was getting sick at the beginning of the week. Thankfully that didn't come to fruition but I'm seriously worried it could be a precursor to what I dealt with last year. It all started around this time .... Hmmmmm ..... Hopefully not!

Weather Cloudy; 37.5 °F
Notes OBJECTIVE
4M Recovery

It must be Monday! From my bed, I could hear the wind. Combined with the cold temperature (by Houston standards), the only reasonable thing to do was overdress for this run.

Once dressed and out the door, my heart rate monitor decided to stop working. So, while messing around with the strap (through layers of clothing) and the watch, I ended up losing the first 1/4 mile of this run AND still didn't get the monitor working. Decided to just go by pace and kept reminding myself throughout the run to keep it really easy.

Felt a little residual soreness from yesterday but, all in all, felt pretty good.

Real happy with this run. I missed the group yesterday so had to go solo (which I historically haven't been very good at over my longest training runs). On top of that it was raining ... lightly but nonetheless raining.

Used the fact I was running in the daylight to find some new trails along the Raveneaux golf course.

8M w/10x20" @ 6:33 & 40" active recoveries

I took yesterday off. My left hamstring and left heel needed a break as they seemed to be getting progressively beaten down. Hopefully the day off gave them the rest they needed.

Ran this one with the 20 second bursts being much faster than necessary. Felt good to blow it out though.

Notes OBJECTIVE
4M LHR < 133 bpm

Something was wrong with my heart rate monitor this morning. It was jumping up to 170 bpm then down to 110 while I was walking. Not sure if it was the cooler temperatures, the layers I was wearing, bad contacts on the band (dry skin) or something else. I took it easy even though I knew the HRM readings couldn't be right. My left leg from glute to heel was tender today. Figured the easy walk/run was probably the right thing to do.

12M w/6x1M @7:36 & 1 min. active recoveries

Except for a "niggling" left hamstring, this was almost a perfect workout! I felt good in the cool morning temperatures even with a northeasterly wind over the duration of the run. My mile repeats reflect a bit of overexuburance:

7:28
7:20
7:15

7:14
6:58

Obviously not very disciplined or consistent but ... obviously feeling pretty darn good.

8M w/8x30" @6:55

For some reason I was expecting it to be cooler weather this morning. It wasn't. Had a good run once I got loosened up. Seemed to take longer than usual for some reason.

Thirty second bursts mid-run were faster than they needed to be but I only felt like I was overexerting a couple times.

Heart rate monitored recovery run. Kept it easy. Felt fine. Tried about 30 minutes of YogaX yesterday. That's surprisingly tough and I'm surprisingly inflexible! Felt a bit of it throughout my body during this run.

Beautiful morning and a good group to run with. I did not execute the on/off of this run very well. I was loosely able to follow but some of the fast miles were too slow and visa versa. Captured the general idea though. Felt pretty good throughout and after finishing.

8M w/8x20" @ 6:33

Felt really, really good out there today. This was one of those runs we're always looking for but only comes on rare occasion and, like some endangered species, it's difficult to even know what to attribute it to. I'm learning not to question; only to say, "Had I not run today, it would have never happened."
