The Sands of...

Obviously, I've been busy and time has not permitted me to update as regularly as I would like. I should perhaps start with the missing week first (Oct. 9-16). If I can remember.

Monday, Oct. 9: Can't really remember...50' easy probably.

Tuesday, Oct. 10: I won't soon forget this shitty workout. 9:30am, 20' w.u., 4 X 10' at threshold, 15' c.d.
-dropped out after 3rd interval. Nothing in the legs. Pace too fast. Very frustrating...

Wednesday, Oct. 11: 48' easy in evening

Thursday, Oct. 12: No time! Missed scheduled workou and instead did a 36' run with 10' up-pace running.

Friday, Oct. 13: quarter century crisis (QCC). Amidst the craziness, managed a 50' easy run

Saturday, Oct. 14: no run scheduled, no run taken. It's a good thing, still feeling the after-effects from the QCC.

Sunday, Oct. 15: Richmond Flatlands 10K
15' warmup, 10K in 35:37, 20' cooldown.
splits: 3:24, 7:02, 10:23, 13:56, 17:30, 21:00, 24:44, 28:29, 32:12, 35:37.
-Mildly pleased with result. Wasn't expecting much after QCC. 2nd half of the race was into a pretty strong headwind, hence the 7:30 2k split between 6-8km. Free hat for age category. Yay!
-approx 70-75km week.
-Turned out to be a bit of a down week. I guess I needed one anyways. Time is increasingly becoming a limiting factor and will continue to do so as the semester progresses. I will update with this past week tomorrow (hopefully).
