Training update, week 10

My California running last week:

Tuesday - 7 miles on the track with TRIbe
                warm up, drills, strides
                3 x (800m tempo, 2 x 400m fast)
                cool down, core, stretch
Thursday - 8 miles on the levy trails (Baylands) plus drills and strides
Friday - 4 miles jogging on trails (Baylands)
Sunday - 20 miles on the Sawyer Camp Trail, details here

My favorite outfit for running in overcast 50 degree weather - short sleeves and gloves. And I like stripes! You've seen the pictures.


warm hands = happy runner

My second 20 miler was followed by my first ice bath of 2011. Misery.

Brrrrr!

Speaking of ice, I also went to my first Sharks game of the year. Thanks GG! I had much more fun watching other people smash themselves into the ice than sitting in it.

Sharks vs. Canucks on Thursday night

And finally, my stylish post-run outfit for recovering on Sunday afternoon.

Comfy compression socks!

Jane said...: Spoil yourself after the next long run at Watercourse Way in Palo Alto. You can reserve a hot tub room with a cold plunge (and it is COLD). I did that after Cal and spent a few minutes in the cold plunge and a few minutes in the hot tub and alternated. It felt (almost) like I didn't run at all. Happy training, I am getting excited to start some long rides! Amie; March 18, 2011 at 11:08 AM
