Hanging in There

The training continues. This is definitely the most intense training I've ever done and it has left me feeling very unmotivated to write about it. Apparently exhaustion and creativity do not go together. Not that this the writing here was ever all that creative, but you get the idea.

2/18 - 8 Miles w/ 12 X 400 @ 76 seconds with a 200 rest interval in between
2/19 - 8 miles with 4 @ 5:39 Pace
2/20 - 9 miles @ 6:35 pace AM, 5 Miles @ 7 Min Pace PM.
2/21 - 14 miles @ 6:40 pace.
2/22 - 8 Miles with 6 X 800 @ 2:30 with 500 rest interval in between

The hardest part of the week is over, with just a long run left to do this week. Next week there is very little speed work on the agenda, so I hope to put in a nice week of big mileage, just like the old days.

wow, well, if it makes you feel any better, I'm not even motivated to run 30 miles/week so Boston isn't painful. I think the combo of winter, intensity and creativity are really what don't go together (though 2 out of 3 don't seem to go together very well for me either).
