Early Start
I decided to take Monday off despite feeling no ill effects from my runs on Sunday. But I did make it to the TNT run in Bellevue last night to get a better start to this week. Now if I can just make it out the door to the track tonight and get up early Thursday to run in the morning I should be on my way to a 50 mile week!
This is probably a good time to remind those searching for a good training plan to follow that mine is not a good choice. My schedule is just too crazy and consistentcy leaves a lot to be desired in my running program. I think over the past 8 years I've developed an immunity to mileage "bumps", but I still try to be very careful about how my legs are feeling in reaction to those jumps.
I've been spending pretty much all of my free time lately trying to learn all 40 of my track athletes names and what events they do and how fast they can run or how far they can jump. The last couple years I've only had to do this with 5-10 newcomers, learning 40 is quite the undertaking.
Tomorrow we have our first league meet and I'm hopeful that it will be close, but realistically I have no idea how we'll score. I just don't have enough information to align my team's entries to maximize points. So I'm just letting the chips fall where they may at this point, but if we can hang tough with this team (3rd last), it will be a step forward for my team (10th last year).

Wed: 8 miles, 1600 (5:40), 800 (2:40), 800 (2:39), 4x400 (75-75-70-67)

Little different than coaching at the B level?
