disney 2010 - Training Week 11

Tomorrow will be a pretty full day with a long run, and a long drive to get there, so I thought I would go ahead and blog next week's plan today.

Next week is for my love... my number one supporter...the one that showed me how strong I can be by just believing in me, always.

Plan:

Monday: xtrn (am) / ST front & core in the p.m.

Actual: What was I thinking? I rested today...

I wasn't really hungry, but I ate anyway...probably more than I should have.

Water was not as much as I should have, but some

Sleep was right on, making up lost time, around 9hrs last night.

Tuesday: 6 miles (am) / yoga p.m.

Actual: Only yoga due to NO sleep last night. Yoga felt good on my sore legs though.

Food: 2 waffles w/ PB & 1/2 banana, coffee, clif bar, coffee, Kashi hot cereal (2), coffee, grapes & strawberries w/ ff cottage cheese, boca on thin bread w/ cheese, mayo, lettuce, onion, sour cream potato chips

Wednesday: xtrn (am) / 3 mi + ST back & core in the p.m.

Actual: 5 mi in 47:40, only 3 min cooldown.

The 20 miler on Saturday was... NOT FUN. The weather was 70s, 100% humidity - so not too bad. I was out until after midnight friday night so, again, I was low on sleep. We took it nice and easy, stopped at 3 stations (7 mi / 12 mi (1 gel here) / 16 mi), we walked some, and we eventually made it! I had 7 X 8oz gatoraids and 3 X 8 oz water. 0.5 clif bar (no coffee, I was running late) prerun, the other .5 post run.

• 1/5 cup egg whites, 1 oz lf cheddar, onions & peppers, wrap for lunch.
• 1/2 tomato and goat cheese pizza, salad w/ feta, oil & vinegar
• 1 churro, 1 coffee

Weekly wrap-up: This week has been challenging. Matt passed a kidney stone along with a couple other issues, on top of last weekend's 3am wake for the 30K race and my sleep has been lacking - a LOT! Monday I was SORE from Sunday's race. Tuesday and Wednesday I was so tired I did good to get anything done. Friday was... Matt's day off... and also, a mentally challenging day knowing I was looking 20 miles in the face.
