February 3rd: And we’re back! Over a week traveling and in Patagonia and home again. Patagonia was absolutely beautiful but, in terms of fitness, the polar opposite. I was able to do a few hike, including one that was ten miles, but then I got hit with a norovirus which made eating and physical movement hard. I’m not overly sad that I missed anything because it was actually relaxing once the nausea passed.
February 4th: And now we’re back again to some running. Easy four on the tread. Felt overall okay and nothing fancy.
February 5th: Rest day which was good due to some outside factors and the fact I think I’m getting sick.
February 6th: I’m still feeling so-so energy wise and, although this won’t be true for much longer, have some time before the hard work so I’m taking it easy. Today was planned for 6 miles with some 200 pickups but I did an easy 4 miles. My hope, with coach’s okay, is an easy run tomorrow, long run (10-12 miles Saturday) and tempo Sunday. This is all of my body can support that work. I also need to get MUCH better at food intake during the day as I’m under eating for sure.
February 7th: Well this training block is starting off with a very small bang. After Patagonia and noro, now I have a URI that is just sapping my energy. It doesn’t help that I’m right back to it at work. Today was planned 4 miles, I got in 3. I’m writing this post on February 8th which was supposed to be 12 miles and is now zero. My hope is to get 5-7 tomorrow and then just get this whole block regrouped.
February 8th: I did three miles today and that felt like enough. This is very frustrating but I’m trying to remember it’s very early in the block and to keep positive.
