I couldn't really follow my plan for this week because of Wednesday and Saturday. Wednesday I went up to Auburn to run with Jake and Saturday I was gone all day picking up my parents and then going to a Bocce Ball tournament that my sister was participating in. So I had to shift things around a bit, cut out starting my tempo runs until next week and just focus on getting two good long runs in this week.
Monday - Since my two long runs were going to be Tuesday and Friday, I decided today needed to be fairly easy, but not too short so I went for an out and back run from one side of Vacaville to the other along Marshall Road which comes to about 7 miles in about 52 or 53 minutes. It was a comfortable pace and I didn't feel inclined to push it too much.
Tuesday - Today I selected a 10 mile route that I do from time to time. Unfortunately its pavement all the way, but at least I know exactly how far it is. Its basically the same run as the 8.1 mile run I've done the past two weeks with a slight alteration up Alamo to Leisuretown, over to Marshall, and back home. The run took me 75 minutes.
Wednesday - I had a great time going up to Auburn after doing bunch of yard work for a fellow church member today. Jake and I went for an easy 7.5 mile run up and down the canyon starting with K2. I wore my Vibram FiveFingers for this one and didn't feel drained or anything from yesterday's run. We ran for 70 minutes total.
Thursday - After putting in almost 25 miles the past three days my legs were a bit worn out so today was a simple easy recovery run without timing it. I went out to Lagoon Valley, around the lake, and back for what I estimate to be about 5.5 miles, no more than 6.
Friday - I got to run Stagecoach 3 times today. Its not the max number of times I've done Stagecoach, but it was good. Stagecoach is 1.9 miles from gate to gate (in spite of some hikers who vehemently argued with me one time that it was 2.4 miles long) and rises I think 1000 feet in elevation (I'm not entirely certain on this one and would have to ask Jake to verify). I skipped the first 1/4 mile except for coming up the first time and down the last time. Overall I figure I ran about 10.5 miles in 102 minutes.
Saturday - I just returned from this run around town with a bit of a drizzle starting as I ran through the streets of Vacaville. I just wanted to shake the legs out and encourage recovering from running this week. I put in 4.5 miles or so and enjoyed a good night run with a little bit of rain.
So overall I put in about 45 miles this week with a decent amount of hills, though I kind of wish I could run hills every day, I love them. Where is God leading me this upcoming season? Well, I hope to some more hills! ;)
Running toward God,
Jason
