Mid week summary post

Tuesday STRENGTH 40-45 mins of Plyos, then RUN 4.2 in 39 mins
Wednesday BIKE 20 miles in 70 mins, 8 min "pushed pace" intervals
Thursday RUN 13.1 miles in 1:55

It's now solidly dark out at the old speedwork time (6am) and our ringleader is injured. So it's likely that speed work is off the schedule until next spring. It's hard to do alone! So Tuesday was plyos then a run in the light rain.

Weds should be my midweek long run but I turned it into a ride. DH was leaving for a trip and I didn't want to be out running when he left!

Thursday (today) started off in the rain but that tapered off fast. I was feeling very good for this run, which probably means I didn't work hard enough yesterday.

I'm excited for so much right now, I'm not feeling any of that pre race fatigue like usual. I've had to rebuild my schedule for the McNot Again to get a build and a rest. I'm using a 10 day schedule instead of a 7 day one now. So 10 days build and 10-ish days of rest. Mostly that means the next Weds will certainly be a run!

I'm also thinking about when to register for my 2014 races! What a silly thing to be planning out :) But I'm thinking on the bday I'll register for MiTi, then I'll do B2B once it opens. I don't want to sign up for #5 as #4, and #4 as #5. Like I said, it's silly.

Finally, I'm trying to find a swim plan for this fall and winter. I really (really times infinity...) need to get some goals and guidance on that sport. I'm so slow that any improvement is an improvement, but as shown in 2012 just doing the yardage is not a recipe for improvement, as I swam the most miles ever that year and didn't speed up any.
