Hope you guys had a great weekend! Almost forgot to do this post today because reading week has started AND it’s a long weekend!  So today totally isn’t Monday for me.

MONDAY ON THE RUN

 

Monday – Rest
Tuesday – Rest
Wednesday –  Rest
Thursday – 8k
Friday – 3k
Saturday – Rest
Sunday – Rest

Oh my goodness.  Last week!  I finally finished all my midterms on Thursday so I pushed my Wednesday interval run to Thursday.  Of course I had the pleasure of non-shoveling neighbours because this was what I was running on.

20150212_165437

My body hurt the next two days. DOMs killed me! Haha. I could barely move the next day! I was supposed to do 8k with 1 x 6 @ 5:00 but I could barely break 5:50 so I stuck around there for my 1k intervals.

Friday I didn’t even want to go out but I did it! Just a wee bit though because I was so sore.  Sunday was a whole different story.  For one, wind gust was 77km/hr (aka 48 miles per hour) and it was supposed to feel like -40 degrees!  WAY too cold for me especially after recovering from the flu, I didn’t want to risk it.  Days like this, I wish I owned a treadmill because I didn’t want to pay the $10 drop in fee at the nearby indoor track.   Whoever chanced it outside are a champ and I have nothing but respect for you!

So how did your week of training go?

    Isn’t it so annoying/rude when neighbors don’t shovel? That’s what we deal with alot around here, and its the reason we end up with ice for weeks after it snows.

      it drives me NUTS. Sometimes I just start shoveling my block just so the parents who walk their kids to the school down the street doesn’t have to walk on that terrain ):<

    This cold weather is killer, huh? So tough to run outside, especially with all the ice on the side walks! I hope your DOMs is better! I had a bad case this weekend, too!

    I did a long run on sidewalks that looked like that last month. Definitely not an easy run, but I know that the difficult run will also help make me stronger.

    Yeah that wind was crazy!!! I really give major props to runners who have been running this winter – I have not done so once yet! As much as I hate the treadmill, I’d rather that than being outside. Can it get warm yet?!

    I’m going pretty slow due to ITBS, but I’m trying to get in miles through walking, elliptical or bike still!

    Training for me is going in spurts of good and bad, it all depends on my back/hip issue. I had to rest today as I trained hard this weekend in the pool, on the bike and on the climbing wall.

    A lot of people around here don’t shovel. I think it’s a combination of selfishness, long work hours, and the fact that we just don’t get snow all that often…

    I hate paying the drop in fee to run as well, but I have a feeling I have some of that coming up this week.

      it’s just so frustrating sometimes because we live near schools. I saw a 7/11 “forget” to do their sidewalks after pushing all the snow from their parking lot there and kids having to climb over the mini mountain! But yeah, drop in can add up! $10/drop in is too steep for me ):

    I give you huge props for running on that – I’d be falling and slipping all over the place!

    I think I’d rather head outside than hit our indoor track. It’s tiny and I think 9 laps per mile. No way I could count that many times lol!
