I should never post workouts before I do them. This weekend we went back to Wausau to boat with friends on Saturday and Family on Sunday. I had thought I would be able to get up early Sunday and fit in a 3-4 hour run up and down Rib Mountain (700 vertical feet each rep).
Friday night I had a really nice 20 miler with 5x1 mile @ LAT pace. I could not start until late because I had to get stuff done at work. The problem with really long or intense workouts that end after 10pm is I never sleep well.
After no sleep Friday night, I got up at 6am and did the 10 miler I had planned. Boating was awesome with the Salzmans - We get to see these friends only a couple of times a year. After a day of wakeboarding and tubing like a 30 year old, I knew I would be very sore Sunday morning. After boating (8:00pm) We make the decision to go over to their house for a few drinks - I knew this was the choice of not getting up to run the big mountain workout. I can train anytime and time with friends is precious - So I think I made a great choice.
This summer is turning out that way - I train pretty hard M-F and enjoy the weekend with Family and Friends.
Sunday morning I did manage to run 8 miles before repeating a long day of boating - 8 hours in the sun, playing on the water can really drain your energy.
On the bright side - It is Monday again, so after sleeping in this morning I am sure I will start my M-F focused training at lunch today.
I did get 114 miles in 11 runs with a 36 mile long run and a 20 miler with speed.
Good running to all -
PS - I think I will actually get a big workout in this Saturday (DWD 50k) ... it's gonna be fun!
