2.5-mile dog jog on CR 210
July 7
Had to get blood drawn and various other things done for a life insurance screen, which cut into my running window. Just ran up 250 to bald eagle lane to get in 6 max hill sprints. Fastest one was 4:17 pace (13.26), which was a PB for the hill. Across the board faster than last week, so I suppose that’s a good thing.
Weight was 164, which is the highest it’s been in a while for me.
3.3 miles total

7.05 easy on CR 250 in 61:46, turnaround a mile or shy of Blank’s Cabin. Got out late. It was warm, so I kept it easy.
July 9
Mears Junction. 1.5-mile warmup. 6 x 3 minutes at CV effort, with 2-minute rest. Followed by a couple of 30-second pickups at mile pace. First two were slow, last four @ 5:53, 5:46, 5:32 (downhill), 5:46 pace. Strong and steady but not too intense.
5.64 miles total.

Busy day. 1.1 mile-super quick hop on mill.
July 11
Track day. Plyos, then a 200 and a 100 by feel as warmup, followed by 4 x 300 on 90 seconds rest. 51.3, 53.4, 52.8, 51.8. Dug deep on that last one. Average (52.33) was slightly faster than I ran on June 16th (52.6) for the same intervals, even though I had 2:30 less rest per interval this time. Progress!
Finished w/ 2 miles at 7:20 pace.

5 x 5 minutes tempo at Mears Junction, 90 seconds rest in between. Uphill and into the wind on the first couple (high 6s), then 5:57, 5:42, and 5:52 pace downhill and with wind at back on the last 3.

3 miles easy w/ Tanner
July 18
Was going to go to the track, but they had a graduation ceremony going on there. Went to CR 101 in Fremont Country to do 15 x 1 minute on/off. Average of 5:48 pace on the ons, but most of them were high 6s on the uphill sections and right around 5-flat for the downhill sections.
July 19
7 miles on Old Monarch Pass in 56:32, avg. HR 142. Strong run. 8:04 pace at 11,000-plus ft. with non-stop up and down felt solid.

I’m actually on a bit of a running streak. I haven’t taken a zero since the day we got back from the NICU (March 14). 128 days!
I think this is the second-long streak of running every day I've had in my life.
Longest streak I ever had was 453 days, starting from spring of 7th grade and ending in the middle of my freshman year of cross country high school. Yes, I was that cool in middle school.
I’m not going to take this too seriously, but now that I’ve got some momentum, we’ll see how long it goes.
As you mentioned it, I'd figure I'd check. 143 through today, but I think that is mostly a function of not traveling since March because of current events. I do expect it to fully end in August though (if PPM happens, which I still see as a coin flip).
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking we ain't seeing each other at the State meet this year either.
Lockdowns and no travel are great for running streaks.
DeleteYeah, the delayed start with DPS doesn't bode well for the year. I think with creativity and some modifications, a cross country season could be possible, but I'm not sure how much faith I have in the powers that be to get it done.
I'll be in town Saturday if you want your pizza.
