This was a pretty busy but good week.\u00a0 I had to work later than normal 3 days this week and our good friends got married on Saturday.\u00a0 My wife was in the wedding so we had lots of festivities to enjoy and lots of quality time with friends, old and new. I still managed to get 26 miles in the for the week and I’m pretty pleased with that.\u00a0 My training philosophy right now is to try and get the Sat and Sun group runs in and run as much as I can during the week – but if I feel too tired or something, not to stress about getting the runs in.<\/p>\n

Monday<\/strong> was a rest day running-wise. I got a total of 63 push-ups in for the beginning of week 2<\/a>. I also continued with Week 2 of Core Performance<\/em> which included Movement Prep, Prehab: Hip – Shoulder – Core and Regeneration.\u00a0 It made for a busy morning, even without the run! The core work increased the number of repetitions from last week.<\/p>\n

Tuesday<\/strong> I ran the Downtown Park 4 mile loop in 32:05.\u00a0 It was 19 and pretty windy out for the uneventful run.\u00a0 I did the Physioball and Regeneration core workouts.<\/p>\n

Wednesday<\/strong> I ran 3.5 miles around Powderhorn Park in 28:05.\u00a0\u00a0 It was a little warmer, almost reaching 30! I also noticed that the lakes are starting to freeze over, especially around the edges. I did 71 total push-ups today – which hurt – and did Movement Prep, Prehab: Core, and Regeneration.\u00a0 I do my push-ups first because they require a lot more energy!<\/p>\n

I skipped a run on Thursday<\/strong> so I could sleep in a little bit.\u00a0 I got my core workout in, doing the Physioball, Prehab: Shoulder – Hip, and Regeneration.\u00a0 I also skipped Friday’s<\/strong> run.\u00a0 I had to be at a training by 8 and was almost late, even without the run. I did manage to squeeze in my 81 total push-ups and Movement Prep and Prehab: Core.<\/p>\n

Saturday<\/strong> morning’s Polar Bear Run met at Hyland Lake Preserve<\/a> for a pretty tough 8.5 mile run.\u00a0 During marathon training we ran at Hyland as part of our hill period so it was a tough run.\u00a0 There was a thin layer of snow on the frozen trails which made it a little slippery.\u00a0 It was a good workout.\u00a0 It was in the mid-20’s and I finished in 66:38. Fortunately, this time we skipped the big ski hill! I did my push-up exhaustion test and completed 25. <\/p>\n

Sunday<\/strong> morning we went to a new (for me and most of the other guys) trail called Louisville Swamp<\/a>. This was an excellent treat of a run.\u00a0 Afterwards we were all commenting on the run but more about the location.\u00a0 Kirk<\/a> even came out of semi-blog hibernation to make a comment about the run. I imagine we’ll be back.\u00a0 We saw a river otter and Kirk saw a Bald Eagle.\u00a0 We also saw a huge beaver dam and some old farmsteads.\u00a0 Did I mention this was an excellent place to run? This group of 7 (today) is a very talented group and I’ve never seen them stop so many times in a run to pause and take in the scenery.\u00a0 It helped that it was an almost perfect weather day – overcast and 30’s.\u00a0 Ok, enough.\u00a0 We did 10.5 miles in 1:29:15.\u00a0 This was the best run I’ve had in a long time.\u00a0 I also did my Week 2 push-up test and belted out 25 fairly easily.<\/p>\n

Weekly Mileage:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Running – 26.5<\/p>\n

Biking – 10<\/p>\n
