Sun 9 Mon dnr Tue 5 Wed 7 Thu 6 Fri dnr Sat 5 Ttl 32
Currently in a base building phase. Steady increase in MPW and LSD. Backing off every 4th week.
Hearing all the reports of sub-zero weather, I feel I have no excuses. I live in Atlanta. The
temps have been in the 40 to 55 range. I'll be paying for this wonderful weather in June, July,
and August.
My weight steadily coming off. 245 last June, now 179. Co-worker comment of the week: "Phil, did you
have a gastric bypass operation?" I replied, "No. I had the full-body bypass." I'm still shooting
for 175 by mid February.

M 5.5 trail run T 2.8 (20 laps around the Lake of Woe) W dnr Th 3.4 (24 laps around the Lake of Woe)
F 4.2 (30 laps around the Lake of Woe) S dnr S 5 trail
Total = ~21
Goals: increase to consistent 28-30 mpw, fall trail half-marathon, loose 30 lbs in 2004.
This week was my first stab at balancing single-again parenting and running. The Lake of Woe is a
small pond in our apt. complex with a boardwalk around it, approximately 240 yards around it. It is
dreadfully boring, but it is completely visible at all points from my 3rd floor apt., so I feel ok
running there at night when the kids are asleep, because if emergency arose they can always just
holler down from the balcony. Interesting- and annoyingly, running around that boardwalk made the
muscles in front of my shins really ache. I don't know if it was the surface (surely more springy
than concrete/asphalt, but couldn't be any softer than trails) or a change in pace/form. It got
better after a few goes, but I don't know how long I can put up with the mental tedium. Fortunately,
it'll be warm enough in a couple of months to go back to afterschool kids-bike/mom-runs in the 3-4
mile range.
After all those miserable cold nights on the Lake of Woe, today's trail run felt fabulous! It was
about 35 and raining on top of light snow from last night, which wouldn't normally seem like fun
running weather. But it was so much warmer than last week, and it was nice to be running in daylight
in the woods and fields.

Stop! I'm getting dizzy.
-Phil
goals: get healthy, stay healthy for marathon coming up Feb 22. for the moment I've decided not to
race between now and then.
M: 6.2mi (9:16), ITB moderately sore
N: 5mi incl 9x400. this was supposed to be 11x400 but ITB pain stopped me after 9.
O: 9.3mi (8:49), ITB tolerable. massage later.
P: 9.1mi (8:49), ITB much better
Q: 6.2mi (9:01), ITB not as good Sa: 2mi (8:31) Su: 16.6mi incl half-marathon (1:38:35), ITB gave
out at mile 12 of race.
total: 54.4 miles
So I have some ITB trouble lately. The revised marathon-training plan is: no racing, no real
speedwork (tempo or mile repeats if I feel like it) - just as much easy running as I can tolerate
while this heals. Wish me luck.
Good week all
Karen
Monday- 18 miles @ 9:20 pace

Thursday- 8 miles- 9:05 pace

Yeah, that's kinda how I felt, too. The sad thing is, I really LIKE that lake, as a landscaping
feature. In fact, the nice landscaping was one of the selling points for me on this complex, and I
love to sit out on my balcony in the summer and see nothing but leaves and water and my little pots
of petunias... ...still, it's miserable to run around at 11 pm on a Friday night.
Base training for spring/summer triathlon season.
