Week of December 25, 2011

This week I was off of work.  I record my times on a journal I keep at work, so did not record most of my times.  This was also my rest week, meaning keeping the intensity up but reducing the overall mileage by 25%.  So all my runs were the normal runs for that day, except Saturday, with just less miles as noted.  Since I do not have much detail on the days, I present the entire week here.

12/26/11 (Monday) Activities:
3.75 miles with a one hour spin in the evening. 

12/27/11 (Tuesday) Run  
4.5 miles

12/28/11 (Wednesday) Run
7.5 miles

12/30/11 (Friday) Run
12 miles in 1:28:00

12/31/11 (Saturday) Run
Today I ran 9 miles in 1:15:10.  We were down at my sister-in-law's house in Payson.  The weather was so nice, about 43 degrees, and I knew I would not get my cycling in today, so I thought I would just run a little extra.  This winter I have not had much opportunity to run outside due to the cold.  My lungs just do not like the cold very much.  I decided to not push it and just enjoy the run.  I averaged an 8:22 mile.  It was almost too warm out there, which today was a perfect running day for me.  I also did not have any water on hand, but no problems with dehydration with the lower temperatures and the decreased speed.


Total running miles for week = 36.75
Total cycling minutes for week = 1 hour
