Your Week in Training Nov 18 - 24

Not the best week  for me:

M 3
T 0
W 5
R 5
F XT - shred
S XT - shred
Sun 6

We got some snow and ice and that kept me in. Pretty cold for November - windchill right around -1 this am and the last 2 days.

Congrats to all our JFK runners and crew members!!

Well done JFK 365runners! 

70, and taper time.

Only 28 miles, but it did include a 10-mile PB (not on the podium) and a slower 10K later the same day (age-group win by 14 minutes!).

Congratulations to the JFK50 team and crew. Really impressive performance.

Remember that the third OPEN MEN"S runner was actually Wendy!!!!!!  Congrats to you all - it was an incredibly rewarding experience one of the best that I have ever had as a runner.  I am still in awe of how strong they all were.  Incredible.

Mon - Day off, core class
Tues - 6.0; Weights
Wed - 4.2 Recovery run
Thurs - 5.0; weights
Fri -Travel
Sat - 16.6 miles, 12.3 with Wendy and 4.2 with Vivian and Kevin at JFK
Sun - 6.2   Vienna VA Turkey Trot - coldest and windiest (and one of the hilliest) 10Ks that I have ever run!  Thanks, Chris

WTD - 38 miles

It was pretty cool taking part in being on the support team for all the 365ers running JFK. That's a crazy race. 50 miles that kicks off with a multimile long run straight up a paved road at 5% or so grade and THEN you really start doing the hard stuff on the Appalachian Trail. 50 miles! Totally nuts but fun to watch and experience. Vivian, Schuey, Michael and the Millers were amazing. I got to run the last 12 miles with Schuey and geez he's made of tough stuff running on a very badly banged up foot. I felt privileged to be along to see the show. Lisa, Michelle and I all wanted to blow off running the 10K today in the bitter cold wind (well, maybe not Lisa - she's hardcore) but we did it because how can you not be inspired after seeing an ultra like that? Plus Michele was taking us all out for brunch so we had to earn it first.

Thanks goes out to the JFK crew (Michele, SJ, Chris, Kevin and Lisa) and congratulations to the finishers (Martin, Wendy, Michael, Vivian).  It was an incredibly rewarding experience.  I swore off ultras during the race but now I'm trying to figure out where the next one will be.  Oh the games we play to get to that finish line.  I think Kettle Moraine 100 or maybe just the 100k next June.

Congrats to team 365 - haven't heard from Michael yet (did I miss it?), but that is AWESOME for not having been able to train specifically for it and for doing it while dinged up!  Congrats to all 5!!!  Wow!

Jeeze Mike, what the hell is going on?

No.  Idea.

Congrats JFK 365er's !!!
Things were going well this week, I had 53 miles in by Thursday, then I was down with stomach flu the remainder of the week. Hopefully next week I'll bounce back.
Total for week = 53 miles
