I didn't plan on being off today but my tired legs and tired body needed it.  The bump in training the last two weeks has taken it out of me and seeing how it's been over three weeks since I took a day off, I needed it.  The line between overtraining and pushing it can be hard to walk but I know from experience when I need a day off. A full night's rest and a 3 hour nap this afternoon and I'm still tired.  Too much beer last night also didn't help.

10 miles easy. I've given up on mentioning the wind.  Just assume there is 20-30 mph winds unless I state otherwise.  It's like this nearly everyday now.  Wednesday a big winter storm is going to hit.  Maybe it will be bad enough to cancel work? Even then, I still have work to do and this kind of storm is no good for running.

5 miles easy at lunch + standard core, etc.

2 mi WU

1 mile strength+ pace, 5 x half miles at 5K pace with 4 min jog after mile and two min jog after halfs

2 mi CD

Ran with CAR this evening.  Even though Snowquester is going to hit tonight it was a pleasant day today.  Since I've joined CAR my workouts have improved greatly (I've only been out 3 times!).  I sort of threw that long strength stuff out since most of the stuff we do is speed oriented but it feels so much better like I am getting a better workout and maintaining some quick turnover even in the midst of marathon training. I am shooting for a long 21 miler this weekend.  Need to rest now.

5 mile tempo at 5:30 pace

Legs are tired but great stuff working out with CAR.  Rich dropped me on the tempo.  I was a bit off this evening.

8 easy.  My legs are predictably very tired and the wind is literally 25 mph with 33 mph gusts.  Feels like a nice spring day when the wind is on your back but in your face it feels like the wrath of winter.  Knowing that it was windy as all hell and I was tired, I left the watch in my locker and ran by feel.

I am going to move my long run to Sunday this week.  The down side is that this week's mileage may look crappy but really a week is just an artificial unit and I shouldn't get caught up in trying to cram x amount of miles in one 7 day period.

Looking forward to resting up next week and cranking out a great half next Saturday.
