training recap for the week

with all the things going on, i hardly had time to mention my training for the week. i found an on-line running log, "running ahead," to store my training information - and have started to experiment with it. i doubt, however, that it will replace my primative record-keeping anytime soon (manually recording my split times in the training log). but it is fun to play around with.

i did 3 runs in the 5 days that lead up to the brooklyn half:

tuesday: 6 miles/47:43/7:58 pace
thursday: 6 miles/44:26/7:25 pace
friday: 6 miles/47:37/7:57 pace

then, saturday, was the brooklyn half marathon: 1:39:38/7:37 pace

today, in full-blown recovery mode, i ran 6.2 miles in 51:12, an 8:16 pace. for a major change of pace, ran the 4th and 5th miles on the high school track. no semblence of speed, just to get reacquainted with 400 meter laps.

that tallies up to 37.3 miles for the week. almost makes me want to head back outside for another 3 miles to bump up the total to 40 miles.

but, tonight i want to update my racing schedule for the next couple months. i have a few races lined up for may and june. probably the biggest race in may, aside from the long island greenbelt trail 50k next weekend is the pineland farms trail challenge 50k at the end of the month. june is still a tough call because two races i'd like to run, the unisphere 100k and the laural highlands 70.5 mile trail run are both scheduled for the same day. yikes - some tough decisions will have to be made.

stay tuned.
