UPDATED Goal: Run 72 miles - 24 X 3 - by November 3, 2007 (My 24th Birthday!)

Wednesday, June 13, 2007

Slowly... slowly...

The goal for today was to try my first attempt at running three full quarter mile laps with a single 1/8 mile half lap inbetween the first-second and second-third running laps.

It was close but I had to give up and walk for the last quarter of the third lap. Still it was definite progression.

OA didn't do much better - she only ran three laps before stopping to walk a final fourth (she normally goes at least 5 quarter mile laps... she was really weak too)

DAY 8 REPORT

wake-up time 6am (boo lateness!)
1 mile total (plus walking to and from track)

2 half circuits walking (1/4 mile), 1 quarter circuit walking (1/16 mile), 1 three-quarter circuit running (3/16 mile), 2 full circuits running (1/2 mile)

Total Walked: 5/16 mile
Total Ran: 11/16 mile

Legs - very weak today, I was having issues on my first lap with a slightly sore knee and it built from there
Lungs - it was hot and humid... the lungs were definitely wheezy
Stomach - perfectly okay
Sweat level - high... the sun was beating down on us towards the end, we need to get up EARLY...

Generally, I felt absolutely nauseous and gross throughout the whole of this morning. Almost like food poisoning or the flu.

Overall Impression: this run sucked the big one - Friday can only be better.
