Wow, nice mileage! Mine was not as impressive, but I haven't taken a rest day since Monday, so I've at least been keeping active :) Can you really do a pull-up? I've been working on those, but thus far, just kind of hang there.
ReplyDeleteAnd I guess now that you've blogged about our speed day, it's really happening huh? I'm both excited and a little nervous! (twss?)
Thanks. It was my highest mileage since late September. I guess I'm building up to marathon training mileage. In May, I could not do a single pull-up. I used the "pull-up" assist machine at the gym and gradually weaned myself off the assist part. Don't be scared of "speed day" if you're not feeling it, you can just walk! :)
DeleteI think "speed day" is just what I need :) I have some lofty speed goals for next year, so this will be a good way to jump start it!
DeleteCool, hopefully we can jump start your speed and keep it going - we're starting our little "speed club", just in time for the track ice over. :)
DeleteHA! I know... but it'll give me a good foundation for doing speed work on the dreadmill, in the case of super icy weather.
DeleteI tried doing some assisted pull-ups at the gym today - man do I need to work on those! It was laughable.
Ok, so im late to the party, but what a fantastic week you had! Wonderful people to run with, beautiful weather, and duckies getting a steam bath! Cant imagine anything better :) Happy to see you running and healthy! (hope to make it to the track with you guys soon too)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes, it makes running more fun when other people are involved. Yes, it was good to be healthy that week. I'm resting my ankle (same one as before) now as it is giving me some slight twinges that I want to go away ASAP. Then, I will decide what to do for my spring races. Looking forward to you joining us soon. :)
