Not shabby for having run 15 times in the last 3 months! And won a Birkie entry — guess I’ll be skiing again this winter 🙂
The first week back from being sick I managed 65 miles. Like I said in my earlier post, I noticed some weird things with my HR. I think it was because I was still getting over whatever I had. Over the weekend I was in Denver, running at altitude. I was taking it easy, out…
My second 100+ mile week is just about in the bank (105, actually)! Mileage like this makes my week a little crazy, but my body is responding well. I’m amazed, actually. So what does a 105 mile week look like? Nate said that would be interesting to write about. I said I didn’t know, since…
I’ve been tired ALL the time the last couple of weeks. Is this normal? No idea, but it’s not very cool. I don’t feel like I should be this tired… my mileage isn’t that high, and I haven’t had a ton of intensity lately. I’ve been around 70-75 (9.5-10 hours) for the last 3 or…
It’s only half way through Day 1 and I already feel gross. But it’s completely my own doing. This morning Nate made a beautiful omlet, complete with a chicken breast and bacon. I was so excited. I haven’t eaten anything resembling this in a really long time! As we changed into our running gear later…
I’ve tried to prioritize sleep this week. I’ve been doing much better (most nights at 8+ hours!), but what I’ve found is that I’m actually more tired. Much more. My brain sometimes has a hard time concentrating. So, guess that means that more sleep is needed. Good thing a weekend is coming up (one where…
Did I count that right? WOW. That’s pretty scary! Last week went really well. I had a breakthrough tempo run on Tuesday and survived a 10k race on Saturday (my slowest ever, but who’s keeping track? :). Sunday’s long run was 18, and that went great. Legs were pretty sore afterwards — I have a…
Wow awesome! That was exactly 1:00 faster than I thought you would be – great job Nichole!!! I knew you hadn't lost much because of all the biking you continued to do. What a great boost of confidence for you! 🙂
