2011 Training Log–Week 12

What a great week. I had a couple of days off work and made the most of them. Got some yard/garage work done, took my girls camping (first night in a tent for the youngest), went on a nice ride with my son, a good run with my oldest daughter, and made a quick trip out to Moab to race an ultra for the first time since Leadville last August.

Running-wise, I had good runs Monday and Tuesday then just stayed busy doing other stuff knowing that I would get my fill and then some on Saturday. Worked out great.

Monday
Run – 11.5 / 1:42 / 147avg
Unexpectedly good run. Went with the VFFs at the boneyard. Heel calmed down nicely after 1/2 mile and I never had to stop and shake out the calves. Definitely starting to adapt. This was probably my most comfortable VFF run yet. Not quite as fast as a couple of weeks ago, but it just felt good.

Tuesday
Run – 7 / 1:03 / 136avg
Just an easy jog.

Wednesday
Bike 12 / 1:24 / 95avg
Took my son on his first singletrack MTB ride. Had a good time.

Thursday
Run – 2 / :27 / 89avg
Took my daughter on her first trail run in her VFFs (that she bought with her own money she saved up). She did great!

Friday
Jogged for about a half mile at a rest stop somewhere in the Utah desert.

Saturday
Run – 59.7 / 11:05 / 141avg
First place in the 12 hour division at the 24 Hours of Moab race.

Sunday

Nada.

Total Time – 15:40

Bike – 12.1 / 1:24
Run – 80.2 / 14:15
