*45' aquajog with 5 x 90",60",30" (60"recovery)

*6M easy in 42:31 on the Mt View campus
*6 x 30",30"
--Not too terribly cold, but definitely rainy this morning! Thankful to be back to normal health and energy though. Today's run averaged 7:05 pace and breaks down into 7:28, 7:09, 6:59, 7:03, 6:57, 6:50. 30-30's were alright. Focused on form more so than all-out speed because I think that's part of what tore me up a few weeks back. Paces ranged from 5:10 to 5:15 with the first one at 5:45.

*30' stationary bike
*45" x H-Core routine
*3 x6 general strength


Wednesday, December 29th
[morning HR: 48]
AM:
*22' easy run, warm up drills, 2 x 20 neuromuscular drills, 2 x 60m strides
*4M tempo on the track in 25:28
*4 x 200m in spikes (200j recovery)
*7' cool down
--For some reason I felt bad (stomach-wise & heavy legs) on the warm up, but it seemed to settle the more we got into things. The tempo was exactly what I wanted it to be... very much under control, but still a good solid run. It was definitely a bit windy, but I'm not going to complain because the rain held off and it wasn't too cold today! :) Finished out with the 200's to practice kicking (my weakness) and was very happy with the progression as I learned to adapt to the pace.
--4M splits: 95, 97, 97, 95 (6:25); 96, 95, 96, 96 (12:49); 94, 94, 95, 96 (19:13); 95, 92, 94, 93 (25:28).
--200m splits: 37, 36, 35, 33.
PM:
*30' cross training (15' bike, 15' elliptical)
--Very glad to have gotten this in. I kept it much more gentle and easy than usual and I feel like a new person now! Ready for the rest of the week of training!

Thursday, December 30th
[morning HR: 50]
AM:
*2 x 45" pedestal routine
*20 x Around the World core routine
*65' aquajog w/ 3 x 5',4',3',2',1' (1' recovery)

Friday, December 31st
*warm up drills, 2 x 20m neuromuscular drills
*6M comfortable at Mt View
*6 x 30",30"
--Felt awful today? From the start! I was definitely heavy and weak during the warm up and never really felt like things loosened up. The wind probably didn't help as it was really strong today. Ended up averaging 7:29 pace with a break down of 7:55, 7:25, 7:24, 7:37, 7:30, 7:04.... you can tell when I hit the wind! :)

Saturday, January 1st
*3M warm up
*12 x 1' grass hills, 3' recovery
--No cool down and no neuromuscular drills today. This is the second day in a row that I've not felt quite right... I'm still heavy and weak feeling so I figured it was best to get in the important parts and leave it at that. The hills were good effort and will still give me the strength and form boosts, but they definitely were not as fast as they have been. Time to focus on recovering so I can come back ready to train on Monday!

Total mileage for the week (10' x-training = 1M): 44.5 Miles.
Total number of runs: 4.
