20120916 week summary

Monday: coronado 10k loop: i started out interested in seeing how i could do on a solid effort at a10k, just a bit short of racing. let's call it a high tempo effort. the first 3 miles felt very comfortable, then miles 4 and 5 caught up to me and i found myself trying to keep the balance between a hard effort and abdominal cramps. i was able to stay pretty consistent and struggled through the last 3 miles. it turned out to be a bit closer to race pace then i was hoping for. and an overall slow race pace. perhaps some faster stuff is calling.

Tuesday: rest

Wednesday: torrey santa fe wanderings: i'm really tiring of these lackluster days. after about 50 yards of slogging, i opted for a walk around the neighborhoods

Thursday: short loop around home:  sirius and i took a short walk, which he considers more of a longer walk.
Peerless loop:  started off nice and relaxed, once i saw things clicking off pretty well, i decided to hold the effort around an easier tempo to see how long it would last.  i felt pretty good the entire time

Friday: travel/rest day

Saturday: Paris explorations:  run down champs-elysees.  my legs felt pretty good, i kept it pretty mellow and easy, just happy to be out in the early morning and feeling good

Sunday: Paris park explorations:  legs a little flat, but better then most runs of late.  so i decided to wander around one of the parks in paris.  my feet are a little beat up.  the run was short and easy, just a short jaunt to keep my legs loose and try to keep moving.

Retrospective: another week littered with rest and a couple tempo efforts, trying to keep things low mileage and higher intensity, allowing for more recovery time to see if it helps alleviate the lethargy.
