Training - 08/13/12 - 08/19/12

8.33 miles this week, leading up to pacing Chris in the LT100.  Kept it light and ate well, though I didn't get as much sleep as I would have liked.

Monday, August 13 - 0 Miles - Rest day. 165.2 lbs.

Tuesday,  August 14 - 6.18 Miles, 9:58 pace, 155 HR. 166.0 lbs. One of my better outings at The Bluffs and I felt really strong. Didn't walk/hike even once, which I'm not sure I've ever done there. Did have some GI distress after mile 3 for reasons unknown.

Wednesday,  August  15 - 0 miles - Rest day. 161.8 lbs.

Thursday,  August 16 - 2.15 Miles, 11:04 pace, 143 HR. 161.4  lbs. Very easy taper run. Didn't feel great, but not too worried about that on such a short and slow outing.

Friday,  August 17 - 0 miles - Rest day. 162.0 lbs.

Saturday,  August 18 - 159.8 lbs & Sunday,  August 19 - 161.8 lbs - Leadville Trail 100 pacing duty for Chris! Report to come!

Nutrition - Did really well this week, knowing I had to shave off a few pounds and be set with good nutrition leading up to Saturday's pacing.  No gluten, no dairy, and no crap - but still no red-meat either (using chicken, fish, and plant protein sources).  Thursday, Friday, and Saturday were really light fiber days (hoping to avoid GI issues), with emphasis being on carbs. Lots of smoothies! I think I have my coffee based smoothie tweaked just right now, so I'll post that soon.
