Training - 07/23/12 - 07/30/12

35.37 miles this week running.  11.2 miles mountain biking.

Monday, July 23 - 0 Miles - Rest day.  165.0 lbs.

Tuesday, July 24 - 7.32 Miles, 9:50 pace, 156 HR. 163.4 lbs. Did a couple of short intervals early in the run (High Line Canal) which trashed me - by mile 4, I was pretty toast.

Wednesday, July 25 - MTB - 11.2 miles, 134HR.  161.0 lbs.  Late night mountain bike ride with Chris, Rich, and Javier on the Douglas County East West Trail and the Highlands Ranch Back Country.

Thursday, July 26 - 6.04 Miles, 11:18 pace, 145 HR.  160.8 lbs. Brutal day at the Bone Yard.  No energy, no legs, totally fatigued.

Friday, July 27 - 0 Miles - Rest day. 161.2 lbs. After a great Monday through Thursday of nutrition, I totally blew it today. Started with a business lunch and then dinner party carnage.

Saturday, July 28 - 0 Miles - Rest day.  165.2lbs.  Up 4 lbs from yesterday.  Let's see how fast I can take it off - which won't be easy after yet ANOTHER day of eating carnage.

Sunday, July 29 - 22.01 Miles, 10:45 pace, 154 HR.  167.8 lbs pre-run, 162.2 post run. The usual Douglas County East West Trail and the Highlands Ranch Back Country. I had a real hard time seeing for the first 3 miles or so - like I had been staring into the sun and had that weird 'aura' obscuring my vision.  My calves, hams and glutes were on absolute fire for about the first 9 miles too. Despite all that, I actually did a decent pace. Overall a very positive outing being sub 11:00 pace. Took 24oz, 150 calories of Amino Vital pre, and 70 oz, 300 calories, Amino Vital during plus gels every 45 minutes. I really like the Amino Vital stuff since it seems I have decent outing whenever I use it.

Nutrition - With the exception of Friday and Saturday (which were horrible) I did OK, and still had a net loss of weight (still 162.2 lbs on Monday morning) of 2.8 lbs for the week.

Diana and I created a new coffee smoothie on Sunday too.  I'm going to try that out for a little while, in addition to my normal green smoothie, and see what results I get.  If it's good, I'll post it...
