Yes - that's right, I'm writing this poolside in Key West. Blogging may have been light this week, but I got in some good running. Today I did two "laps" of Key West for a 21 mile run. Thankfully it was cloudy and even raining a little - so, I was able to run pretty quick for the last half. I probably averaged somewhere near 6:15 pace for the last 10 miles. This week my mileage comes down a bit - but, I have two quality runs - a threshold workout and a VO2 max workout.
It's been nice to not need to cover every inch of my body down here. On Wednesday Kendra and I bundled-up to run the Fairfax Four Miler back in Virginia. I was planning to run it as a threshold workout - but, either the course was short or I got a little excited running in a race with 1800 people. I ended up running sub 21:30 pretty comfortably. They had to change the course because a powerline went down on the original course - so, it very well have been short.
Next week I need to start focuing on nutrition. The holidays and Key West have led to me gaining a little weight - even with all the miles I've been running.
