January 14 - January 20 (76 miles/week)

Frequent visitors to my training log (all three of you) will notice that I switched from writing every day to a weekly recap. The facts are that after doing this for years, I just don't have that much to say about the day-in, day-out recovery runs, and I'm not at a place where I can update my runs every day, so I'm trying out the weekly recap format in hopes that it's a more efficient use of my time and yours. Enjoy?

1/14 - 9 miles easy

I met at Stanford in the morning for the NBSV run from the track around campus.

1/15 - 8 miles easy

Easy recovery run from work around Bayfront Park.

1/16 - 5 x 4:00 on, 2:00 off - 10 miles

I got in a decent workout around Bayfront Park in the morning before work.

1/17

AM: 10 miles easy

PM: 6 miles easy, treadmill

Bayfront Park in the morning followed by an easy treadmill run at the gym after work.

1/18

AM: 10 miles easy

PM: 4 miles easy, weights, core

I got in another easy run around Bayfront Park in the morning, and then I made it to the gym and did weights/core for the first time in a while; time to get back on the wagon with that.

1/19 - 12 miles with 12 x 1:00 on/off

I ran a workout around Foster City after a 30-minute warmup before jumping on a plane and flying to Atlanta.

1/20 - 7 miles easy

I jogged around Memorial Park and Peachtree Battle, shaking off an early wake-up call after a cross-country last night. I followed that up by going to the NFC championship game with Valerie and Josh and witnessing a very Atlanta-like stomach-punch loss in person with the Falcons.
