doing enough?

Kind of doubting myself. Just feeling a little under run trained.
I think overall my conditioning is good.
I just feel I'm not able to run enough to train for Javalina.

I'll admit I've gone about training for this run completely differently.
My body just won't tolerate me running very much.

So- run around the block 39'08"65

My whole body is STILL sore from death by etc...

lazy bones

ugg tired and lazy

so drove up for a swim
50 warm up
then 4 or 5 x 100
then a 5oo in like 8'35"
then a few 50's for cool down

ok I don't feel like running...
so 5 minutes death by squats(137 total)
into
5 minutes death by burpees(only 22 total my core and legs were toast)

I get to go to work now hooray!!!

About 1/2 mile left from the house I got a flat so I hopped off and tried to pump up the tire unfortunately the valve stem ripped off in my hand so I decided to walk the 1/2 mile home, no prob, It kinda killed my time/avg...well time to change into the running clothes.....

run-
headed down pantano to 22nd then up to old spanish trail and all the way out to the park and back down 22nd til P picked me up.
12ish+2hrs14min29

forgotten

So I swam late night (monday 10/14/09)

50
100
150
200
250
300? I messed up my splits and think I went a few extra laps
350 same as above
400
450
500 kept getting distracted by kids on the deck by my bag so I did a couple laps then started this 500 over.

then I stated doing a mix of hundreds and 50's

I swam for a long long time not really sure of total yardage.

also this was this first time I swam in my long john suit- very fast but the seams on the front shoulders kind a rub after an hour + although not a wetsuit very warm and fast suit.

If you did not....

If you did not have the oppurtunity to get out of doors and enjoy the weather today you missed out.

I skipped lunch @ work and left a little early to come home and go run escalante road.
40'07"22

still wonky

worked from 12pm-83ish, got home and went for a quick run around block.
37'22"74- well I work @ 7am so I gotta go to sleep and junk.

out of

Tired lately, not really wanting to run.
Just feeling worn out.
Out of gas. Out of luck out of....

SO I went for a swim this evening.
It was windy and cold so I decided to try out my new full length Tyr tights.

Well lets see-
pyramid sets with very short breaks in between
50 yards
100
150
200
250
300
350
400
450
500

a few minutes rest and then
100 cool down
100 cool down
50 cool down
50 cool down

When I hopped in the pool I wasnt expecting much out of full length tights.
I mean come on.
Well these things are the fastest I've worn or not worn in the water.
The proof is in my splits, every 100 yards I hit the lap button on my watch, although this kind of messes up my rhythm it does give me my split time, on a regular day wearing my thigh length jammers I can pretty much hit 1'40" comfortably on my long distance pace.

Well on my last 500 today I averaged below 1'30" per hundred.
I even had a 1'25" in there...

The tights seem to make me more aware of the water, you get kind of a feeling for it, you can tell when you get tired and your body starts to roll a bit or when your kick kind of wears out. Really strange.
The compression also seems to help with muscle fatigue.

Weird.

slow and lazy

laid around most of the day and then decided to go ride the bike(single speed).

Rode from my house out to collossal cave, it's very pretty out there. Never rode this before.

distance-35.28 miles
time-2.18.43
max spd 34.5 mph
avg spd-15.2 mph

I felt really good no joint pain, just tired and a few hot spots on my feet.
