TWO 24 - 28

Sunday 24

Week FIFTEEN of MBM training. Race week is finally here and the time passed quickly. I've trained as best I could. During this training cycle I raced two 5ks and one 10 miler. I rode the indoor trainer 123.7 miles and ran close to 500 miles. On the down side, I had the flu and a cold.

40' Easy

4.3 miles. Pace 9:25. Elevation 101. HR 137.

Monday 25

Only 5 sleeps until MBM. I'm still feeling cold symptoms similar to what I had the beginning of the month.

Intervals

10 minutes up. 4 x 5 minutes (7:50, 7:35, 7:40, 7:39). 6 minutes down. I'm feeling good and this workout felt great.

Tuesday 26

I'm still dealing with cold symptoms. Hoping for relief by Saturday. I'm thankful for the rest day today.

Wednesday 27

Only 3 sleeps until MBM and the taper is going as planned. My cold symptoms seem to be a little better today. Fingers crossed.
I decided to go to the doctor and I wish I would have done so Monday. Nurse Practitioner Bridget prescribed Prednisone, Z-Pack, and Robitussin D. After one dose of Z-pack and Robitussin D I am less congested.

30' Easy

3.35 miles. Time 30 minutes. Pace 9:00. The pace might have been too fast but I was feeling good.

Thursday 28

My cold symptoms are about better.

Travel to Columbia
We left Justin's at 2:30 and got to our hotel around 10:00. I-40 was closed so we decided to go through JC. It’s an easier drive but it takes a little longer.
