This week I ran in the STL Track Club Frostbite Series Race #2 (of 5), a 10 mile race in Forest Park. After finishing 8th in my age division last time I finished 7th this time, but overall I sit in 4th place! Coming up a week from Saturday is a 20k that I will use as my last "fast run" before Houston the following Sunday.
Also this week, I ran a very successful track/speed workout and afterwords tweeted about it to Bart Yasso of Runner's World. He tweeted back! Check out screen shot below.
On Christmas Day I ran my longest training run ever; 24 miles. Surprisingly, I did not have to worry about a lot of traffic. The weather cooperated for the first time in several weeks and I was very thankful for this gift that I have been given and was able to share on Jesus' birthday. 24 miles is a LONG training run, so I had to have Aimee drop a Gatorade bottle for me along the route so I could refill my bottle that I was carrying. The run went smooth and I feel confident headed into Houston 3 weeks away.
Weekly Recap 71 Miles: Monday Double 6 + 4; Tuesday Double 7 + 2; Wednesday 8 Hills; Thursday off; Friday 10 Speedwork (see tweet); Saturday Frostbite 10; Sunday 24 Long.
