As I mentioned in last week's training summary and in my March Goals post, I've been struggling to keep up with the paces that I was trying to hit for my training plan (or at least for the tempo and long runs), so I decided to pull back a bit and slow down my paces. I'm still faster than I was at this point in my training for the Disney Half, so I figure I can still be on pace for a PR, but now I won't be killing myself on Friday to hit a tempo pace that is too fast, which burns me out for my long run on Sunday. We'll see how it works out.
Mon. Feb. 20 - Rest Day
Mon. Feb. 20 - Rest Day
Tues. Feb. 21 - Rest Day - Still trying to fight off a cold, plus my wife and one of my kids were in the end stages of a fairly nasty stomach flu (that I was thankfully spared). [The rest of the training summary after the jump]
Wed. Feb. 22 - 6x800 m Intervals (Treadmill) (4.90 miles, 51:58, 10:36/mi avg) - Another snow a day or two before my "track" repeats, another workout on the treadmill. Oh well. Once I got on the thing, I felt pretty good. My goal for each 800m interval was 3:47.

Sat. Feb. 25 - Rest Day
Sun. Feb. 26 - 11 mi mile Long Run (Treadmill) (11.00 miles, 1:49:30. 9:57/mi avg) - I was supposed to do 12 miles, but on the dreadmill I just couldn't do it (plus I had somewhere I had to be, and I couldn't spare the 10 minutes it would have taken to squeeze out that last mile). My Long Run Woes continue. I don't understand why I've had so much trouble with them. I hope this turns around in the next month or so. Otherwise, it's looking like a PR at Lincoln may not be in the cards.
