Notes
After a warmup, run uphill for 60 to 90 seconds at a 10-K race effort; it should feel like the same sustainably-hard effort that you’d make while you’re running at your 10-K pace. After you get up the hill, jog or walk downhill to recover. Repeat that cycle four times. Cooldown afterward.

Hills are never really that fun for me. In high school I did enjoy racing my teammates up 5th street hill in Lebanon, and I recall that I was often first or second most of the time. Tyler hill was another story! We would get a ride in the van back to the high school from Coach Dannen if we hit our goal time. In four years I got a ride once! Today I was inspired not by coach Dannen, but by Shawn, Christina, and many other that have been diagnosed by a life threatening illness. When tired and wanting to walk I kept pushing. It was only four repeats for about 60 seconds each, but it felt like an eternity. Afterward the three mile cool down was relaxing.

Boston Marathon Training - Week #2 Day #5 - 9 Miles LSD

Cooking is another outlet for me, a little long forgotten lately.  Yesterday I decided to make Colorado Chili using a slow cooking method - aka crock pot. It cooked all night long, and today's plan of attach, 1) Run 9 miles, 2) Eat a delicious batch of Colorado Chili, 3) Watch my Denver Broncos beat the San Diego Charger.  Accomplished all three!  

For today's run I wanted to map out a different routes with hills because I am bored running the same hills.  The run I mapped started at the intersection of Conifer & Conser, then to Walnut, the to Glenridge heading up to Chip Ross Park.  The hills heading up to Chip Ross are pretty step, and I had to stop a few times to get my heart rate to be in the "Easy" zone.  I really need to work on this as according to training software I spent 69% of the workout in Zone 3, not good.

Chip Ross park was super muddy and slick, duh!  I should have known, but you live and learn.  Heading up some of the very steep sections I was walking, and slipped and fell uphill once! Once I made it to the top, heading down wasn't any treat either... tried to stay on my feet, braking on slick mud and grass, and tried to avoid going down at brake neck speed!  I managed to find the parking lot without incident.

The last few miles were mostly downhill, and I just took it easy.  I tried to hit as many puddles of water to clean the mud off my shoes.

Boston Marathon Training - Week #2 Day #4 - 5 Miles Easy



This was just an easy five mile run.  Nothing special to say other than it was pretty storm, and I was soaked when I returned.
