Training for Week of 11/19/07 – 11/25/07

I probably should call this post, “Post Marathon Recovery Runs for the Week of 11/19/07, etc.  Believe me, I’m running very cautiously for the next few weeks.  Also, I made the decision to go back to my FAVORITE yoga place, Breathe Yoga, in Pittsford, NY.  If you are ever in Rochester and you want to go to the very best yoga class ever, take a power vinyasa class at Breathe.  You’ll be amazed at the quality of the workout – talk about total body!

Below are my runs for the week of 11/19/2007 – 11/25/2007 (yoga class included).

Monday, November 19, 2007 – 5.3 mile run at 4:30 am.  45:00, pace = 8:30 per mile.  Nice easy run before work.  Still sore from injury, so I’ll focus on running slower tomorrow.

Tuesday, November 20, 2007 – 5.3 miles at 3:30 pm, 45:30, pace = 8:35 per mile.  My leg/hip still bothers me.

Wednesday, November 21, 2007 – REST

Thursday, November 22, 2007 – 6.1 miles, 4.4 miles Webster Turkey Trot.  Actually, my GPS registered 4.3 miles for the race which I ran in 34:37.  If you calculate pace for 4.4 miles, mine was 7:49.  For 4.3 miles, my pace was 8:00. Muddy and messy – LOVED IT!

Friday, November 23, 2007 – 5.1 miles with group from Fleet Feet.  Pace – 8:54.  This was a fun run with a large group of local runners.  The course was interesting, and just for giggles, a few of us did a lap of Cobbs Hill (tough!).

Saturday, November 24, 2007 – 8.5 miles in 1:13:23.  Pace = 8:40.  Given that I’ve been sick lately and the temps were quite cold (25 degrees), I opted to run on my treadmill.

YOGA CLASS – Great Workout!

Sunday, November 25, 2007 – REST

Total Miles for the week of 11/19/07 – 11/25/07 = 30.3
