Speed training… January 12, 2007

Digg! this story.
, trackback
Became strength training yesterday.
Deciding to try the out-and-back method of racing yourself back and beating your “out” time, I set off at my normal pace. No big deal. Until I turned around to start back. With the wind blowing against me I could barely move forward. I think if I’d have tried to stand on one foot I’d have been blown down! This is how bad it was: the wind was causing massive amounts of tears to form in my eyes, and most of those were blowing right off of my face. The rest were causing some nice (okay…quit reading if you think all girls are pristine and perfect) runny snot to form. This too was blowing off of my face. Which, in a way was nice because I didn’t get my shirt-sleeves dirty!
Anyway, I felt like I was running up-hill, and added a good minute to each mile for my “back”. So much for speed training, maybe next Monday!
Asics: 18 miles this week, 90 total

That’s awesome.
Most of my runs are done at about the perfect temperature, 50-60 degrees. It’s rough.
Oh yeah..and with generally no wind at all.
Too easy Eric…that kind of stuff won’t make a man out of ya!
This is true, and no hills. I may as well just bring a teddy bear on a run with me.
At least you know you did a good workout running into that wind!!
