Mediocore Running all week. Cold, West nasty weather all week.

Been too busy the last 3 days to do any miles (business & prep'ing for the
holidays). Got a 10K race Sunday morning, last race of '04. Would be nice to
go 6:30/mile & finish between 30th-40th in my age group.

I've decided to go for it and do a Spring Marathon. Now I'm just trying to
decide...Boston or Big Sur? I'll be in California for Xmas so perhaps the West
Coast "air" might sway me.....Gotta decide by the end of the year...

do you get in there with the clothes or do you run it empty when you jump
in?

total 17 miles running , lots of cross training

Goals:
Recover from plantar fascitiis which I now have in both feet.
Got back my modified orthotics and still don't like them, am trying retail
inserts and new shoes Asics 2090.
I am going to see another podiatrist and still investigating Shock Wave
treatment.
Hopefully I can get healthy in the next 6 weeks for some indoor track.
Keep the body fat down (15.5%) and reduce it if at all possible.
I'm thinking maybe I can get to Clydesdale status though weight training. I
remember that Ronnie Lott (safety SF 49ers) weighed about 200lbs in his
prime and thinking that might be a worthy goal someday.
I might be slow but at least I'll look good :]

Just got back from a 3-miler. I know, not much, but I haven't run for a
while. I also was in Reno/Tahoe the last three days and got some great
skiing in. The snow could have been better, but it was fun anyway.

Now, I'm back in the program, ready to start running regularly again, except
when I can get away to the slopes!

Still waiting on injury recovery, been one month now...

Tues- 7.5 miles/ jog 5 min then walk 5 min then repeat

Thurs- 2 hours inline skating, about 25 miles. Sore right achilles
tendon afterwards.

Sat- Was supposed to run, but ended up house supply/christmas/grocery
shopping first and got too tired

Sun- 7 miles, jogged the whole thing, yay! My injured bits started to
make themselves felt at the end, but I hope I'm able to continue doing
longer runs like this.

i've been too embarrassed to enter any of my run
data in here before, but now i see that there's
a lot of people not doing much so i'm in
good company.

all runs on treadmill. incline between 1 and 5 degrees (mostly near 1)
mon jog 5K
tues weights
wed jog 5K
thurs weights
fri jog 10K

Goal: short term. do one 10K every week. try to resolve
continuing itb problem. bump mileage up slowly
to 30K/week by january

long term: plenty of short trail races in 2005. one ultra trail
of 50K. and 1 marathon in october. still happy with
just finishing. not aiming at any particular time goals.
....thehick
 
No real goal. First cold week of winter in Tokyo.

Mon: rest
Tue: 5k
Wed: rest
Thurs: 5k
Fri: rest
Sat: slow long walk: shopping for Xmas :)
Sun: rest

Total: 10k

..... might as well finish out the year on this thing.

mon: spincycle 20m incline treadmill 20m, weights
tues: off
wed: ran 45m, hr 141
thur: walked 40m
fri: ran 39m, hr 143, some weights
sat: walk/run 30m
sun: walk treadmill 50m

week 2 of marathon recovery and seasonal rest period. Legs felt just 'ok'
on friday's run, and before that they felt like quite lifeless since the
marathon. I'm really thinking the marathon was a mistake and counter
productive to my long term running. I'm seriously considering becoming just
a jogger from now on, with no race goals, but I'll wait until January before
deciding. Talk about post-race depression!

Starting to return to normal after 28 mile race on 11/28.
Next race: Avalon 50 mile Jan 7. (maybe...if I get some good workouts in)

Sun: 8 mi. 860' of climb (off Mullholland). Slow and steady, no walking.
Mon: 8 mi 700' of climb in 1:16, 125 hr avg. Still sluggish.
Tue: 13.5 mi 2100' of climb in 2:04, 145 hr up, 130 down. LT type workout:
20 min, 10 min, 10 min hard, rest easy. Pooped on way back. Pony rides to
Mt. Lee,
the long way, Mt. Hollywood back. 2:03 to Mt. Lee.
Wed: 8 mi, 700' of climb, tired and slow.
Thu: 10.5 mi. 3 mi warmup, 10 x 440 in an embarrasingly slow time
(I used to run marathons faster than this!), 3.5 cooldown.
Fri: 8 mi easy, 700' of climb.
Sat: 14.5 mi, 3500' of climb, felt so bad that I cut this 20 miler short.
Really tired, no zip, even the downhill was a chore.
Sun: 9 mi, 1500' climb, felt great, lots of energy. Go figure...

Total (Sun - Sat): 70.5 miles, 8560' of climb.

How much the marathon helped or hindered will take some time to
evaluate. Becoming a jogger right now should be looked at as your reward
not an entry into depression. Post race down time is fun. Chill
(nothing buy easy cross training or less than 5 junk miles) for 2-3
weeks and then go back to base work. Basic periodization especially the
rest breaks is what keeps us going. Of course it took me a few dozen
marathons before the light went on and I moved all my distance to
trails.
