Week In Review: February 4th - February 10th
Monday:
Run - 3.53 miles, 44:11 minutes, 12:31 min/mi pace. Started off at EC, but I found myself taking walk breaks, so I just embraced it and switched over to Easy/LR intervals. Otherwise unexceptional run.
barre3 - Dino again. Something had happened at work and I couldn't let go of it, so I was distracted and this class wasn't great.
Tuesday:
Run - 5.60 miles, 1:13:14 houts, 13:05 min/mi. Ran north for as long as I could and then turned around where the path ended*. This was planned as the first of three hour+ runs this week.
*Well, the path goes further, but there's a turn involved and it requires going under an underpass in Harlem, so I wasn't having it.
Wednesday:
Run - 3.38 miles, 38:28 miles, 11:23 min/mi pace. This was originally planned as a 90 minute run (mid-week? What??), but we finished building our IKEA table at midnight the night before, so I slept in instead. So far my quest to run 5 hours mid-week was not going great.
barre3 - Legs felt dead. Completely and entirely dead. Kept having to stop and take breaks. Grr.
Thursday:
Woke up and my legs felt like I had recently run an "A" goal half, so running was not happening. I was signed up for a barre3 class after work, but I cancelled that because I didn't think my legs would like it. Was considering another Mile High Run Club class, or maybe trying something new, but I ended up not signing up for anything, which is good because I ended up at work late solving a problem.
Friday:
Rest Day! I was so tired that I passed out on the couch after dinner.
Saturday:
Rest day again. Discovered that while I can do my grocery shopping 24/7, it's pretty hard to find a cup of coffee around here after 9pm. This neighborhood is weird.
Sunday:
Run - 4.51 miles, 55:45 minutes, 12:22 min/mi pace ... aka run to barre3. Garmin was misbehaving so I tracked this on the phone and the distance went nutty (this distance is from mapping afterwards). Also, taking my phone out of my belt was annoying, so I didn't pause at stoplights. So all the stats on this are probably wrong.
barre3 - With Vicky! I haven't taken her in a bit and I forgot how much I love her ... even though her class is tough. Also, I forgot that I wanted to have coffee for class, so I let myself sleep in. Next time I take a Vicky morning class I gotta remember to have coffee either before or during class. There's a lot of energy required.
Run - 1.85 miles, 24:31 minutes, 13:15 min/mi pace ... aka run from barre3 to (near) Times Square, where I grabbed a subway home. See same comment about Garmin as above. Felt like I could have gone farther, but I didn't want to.
Total time for today was 1:20:16, which is 34% of my weekly duration. Still in the okay range, but not what I'm going for. It's fine, though.
Upcoming:
This is gonna be a tough week on a life level, but thankfully it's a down week for running. Planning on taking tomorrow off from running, may do some cross training (I'm signed up for barre3), then I'll figure out what to do from there.
Also ... I'm hoping to post at least a few more days worth of trip pictures this week. I'm back in Queens for the weekend, so it'll have to happen during the week, but I'm gonna try.
