Last week began my official training for 2013. I was able to get in 5 meaningful runs all at 5-6 miles in length. Did a combination of lower paced runs along with some tempo and speed work outs. The hamstring is still pretty tight. I also made it back into the pool. Core and strength workouts were included in all but one session. It feels good to get back into a routine, but the going is rather slow.
With only about 4 weeks till the Leadman in AZ, it's going to be an interesting day. The swim won't be an issue, but the bike is going to be a grind. I haven't been on the bike since IM AZ in November. I hope to get back on it this up coming weekend. In the interim I hope to get in a few spin classes. I'm thinking that the Leadman has a 70M bike which should usually take about 3.5 hours, but in my shitty condition it'll probably take me 4 hours of grinding.
I'm anxious to get back into race shape....just gotta stick to the plans.
Back out to LA this week. I'm going to try and get in a couple of trail runs up near Big Bear. Some altitude and hill training will certain get me up the learning curve quickly. Both work and home have been moving at a crazy crazy pace as of late...and trying to just keep the balance.
Signing off from 30,000 feet...Cheers!
Is good to hear you still haven't give up...stay strong and healthy!!!
