(Original Miles, Miles Completed, Temperature, any pains/aches, Eating/Hydration, Stretching, Massage, Icing, Cream)
I planned to run 25 Miles as my original plan. But after last week’s reality check. I think I will try to do 18 Miles. I decided to rest Monday and Tuesday after Sunday’s race. I know that I should not make up any missed miles, but I decided to run the miles I was supposed to do on Monday (3M) and Tuesday(3M). Wednesday, December 6, 2012: walked 1 mile, ran 6 miles and cooled down on 750 meters. It was super cold and windy (36 Deg). My left ear started to hurt at around mile 2.5. Today I read an e-mail from Active that recommends that when it’s really cold, it helps to use 2 hats. I’ll keep that in mind for temperatures lower than 20 Deg. I’m hoping for a cold, dry day for February 24, 2013 NYCRunsCentral Park Marathon. However, I’m also preparing for snow, an icy road; I’ll bring my skates, skiis in case. It maybe not be allowed, but I’ll try.
I didn’t bring my bottle of water so I had to stop around mile 4 at a store to buy Lemon-Lime Gatorade. I started to feel the arepa/cheese repeat around that time, and although I tried to burp the feeling, it felt like I had something stuck on my chest. I tried to practice the Chi running form, I notice that the Chi form makes me go faster even when I don’t want to go fast. So far I’m ok running up to one hour but I need to take more walking brakes after running for an hour. I would like to increase this timing to be able to do the 16 miles without stopping. Stretched a bit when I got home. My hubby massage the arch of my left foot and the heel. Did not ice, I’ve been avoiding after the burned I had back in November 2 weeks before the ING NYCM which kept me unable to walk for 3 days. I didn’t feel the need to take Ibuprofen.
Hoping to adjust my miles according to what I’m feeling as of today, hoping to do the long runs as schedule. Let’s see how I feel as I move through the training schedule.
I selected Hal Higdon Marathon Training Personal Best. Since I had trained for the ING NYC Marathon following the 18 Week Training, I’m starting on Hal Higdon’s Week 18. Hope this works…
Week 1: Mon 3 Tue 0 Wed 3 Thu0 Fri 3 Sat 0 Sun 5 = 14 Miles
I was hoping to do 20 Miles but only managed to do 14 Miles. Knee starting to hurt on Friday, left calf super tense. Trying to massage. When I’m running it’s ok. Ran 2 miles today up to 2 miles and then started to feel cramps. Ran all 3 miles almost straight. Felt really exhausted after Sunday, December 2, 2012 NYRR Join For the Voices. My time was the best one, but I know I gave it my all and felt pretty confident about how I was running.
