Dogging it

So last week went terrible for me, I just wasn't hitting my numbers and I felt shitty. I ran and didn't really rest over the weekend which was a big mistake and I paid dearly for it. Some times you just get in this mood and your training is off and no matter what you try to do you cant snap out of this. This is where a Coach really helps and if not for Coach Duffey I am not sure where I would be today, surely not at the level I am now.
 Sometimes you just have to step back when life gets to stressful and just do the main sets and walk away, all the assistance and other shit I want to do has to stop and I have to do my set then worry about recovering. I no I neglect that aspect of training a lot and its a huge part, Its always easy to do to much you have to find the balance and do just the right amount then recover. I no practice what i preach and I really have to work on this. But on a good note on Friday last week April 13,2012 I went for a Longcycle PR 2x32kg for 7 mins @5rpms which definitely felt better than usual finally starting to settle into the 5 rpms a little better.

Over the weekend I ran 6 miles on Sunday because I have to shed a few pounds for the competition this coming weekend in CT. I have a goal in mind for my set but I will just keep that to myself for now.

Longcycle 2x28 6 mins @7rpms this was tough and it was really hot out but I pulled it off.

Also a friend of mine Meghan Damiano Chase ran the Boston Marathon today, she raised over 10,000 dollars for a charity called Mass eye and ear. She completed it in 6hrs17mins a huge accomplishment. It was over 80 degrees and she made it. I did a couple of runs with her to help train including a 12 mile run and that was brutal I don't no how people can run 26.2 miles and in the heat we had today. It just goes to show you if you put your mind to it you can do anything.
