Tried to get in a longer run tonight (1:11:05) so that I have an easy run to complete my 20 miles this week. Definitely I have felt more fatigued over the last 2 weeks since I decided to up the training volume. Hopefully my body will adjust soon. I've been reading some about workout routines and there is a big push for interval training instead of longer, medium paced distances. I will try to incorporate the intervals in my shorter run tomorrow. As an aside, I saw a girl at the gym wearing a Texas Tech rugby shirt- the second time I've seen someone here in SLC wearing TTU. I asked her about it and it turns out that she and her boyfriend went to school there. Even though I didn't go to school there, there is something strangely comforting about the familiarity. As a second aside, my mom and dad have started working out on the Wii fit along with doing some resistance training. I have to say that I'm very proud of them, and I wish I could be there to watch them do the Wii games- especially since I know my dad has a new boxing game. My brother and I played Wii boxing at Christmas and frankly I'm surprised that nothing was damaged in the process! |
