INJURY
Tuesday, October 30th, 2007ECYCLING
Wednesday, October 24th, 2007I have been taking ecycling classes two times per week. It is a great low impact intense workout. I am going to take a lactate/VO2 Max test next week before I begin my second 8 week block of ecycling.
As I am trying to deal with my plantar faciatis and cut back on my running the classes will help me maintain my endurance.

OFF SEASON TRAINING
Thursday, October 18th, 2007Well I finally made it to off season after six months of injury!! I am going to focus the next 90 days on core strength and continue ecycling!!
I will bring my running down to 3 days a week and lower the volumn so I have time to heal myself.
San Jose Half Marathon
Monday, October 15th, 2007After battling injury for the last 90 days I fought back and had a decent half marathon. I completed the course in 1:43:24 which is a 7:57 pace. Not nearly as good as last year but I was unable to put in the distance.Â
I am going to focus on buliding my strenght back and set myself up for a great next season.

TESTING/SJ HALF
Friday, October 12th, 2007The SJ Half is two days away and unfortunately due to the last several months of injuries I am not going to break any PB!!!! I am going to use this a good long run and end of my racing season.
I am going to start to do a great deal of core work and stretching and prepare for next season.
I just had my lactate threshold tested and was pretty suprised I did not lose as much fitness as I thought due to my inconsistent training!!!
I am focused an 100% recovery and a strong next season.
GREAT RUN
Friday, October 5th, 2007Yesterday was my best run in almost two months. I ran 5 miles @ 7:37 pace. I have two long runs planned for this weekend and depending on how I feel I will decide if I am going to run the San Jose Half Marathon on Sunday, October 14th!!!
It feels great to run “almost” pain free!!!!
Increasing The Distance
Monday, October 1st, 2007I did a 10 mile run this weekend and was almost painfree. I still have soreness in my hip!!! I am deciding whether to run the San Jose Half Marathon which is two weeks away.
I will see how I am feeling mid week and decide.
