mung sprouts
Apparently
mung sprouts can make you sick. that made me take a second look... what are mung bean sprouts? Oh, they are those thick white bean sprouts that I like. Hmmm... I wonder why i only know them as bean sprouts.
oh, and I didnt run last night. i ran this morning. inside.
probably
I'm probably going to run tonight... it is probably going to suck.
beginnings
Well, it seems that someone noticed. Thanks Pat.
So, we left off with me having a hard time moving around, thanks to the 15k race... well folks, I'm about to do it again. Lets define about to: april. I'm getting ready for this:
the waterloo half marathon. i hope i dont die.
I've looked at lots of 'training schedules' and there are a ton of them out there on the net. Some of them dont look hard, eight weeks of running three or four times a week, to six months of running like mad. I havent really picked one, but I have picked out a few things that I'll do. First of all, most of the plans have a 'long run' on the weekend. The idea is to build up the distance in this long run, to get close to the race distance. The other thing that I am incorporating is the ten percent rule. This is a total distance guideline. Each week I sum up the distances of all my runs that week. Then, for the next week, I plan to have the total kms add up to that number plus ten percent.
For example, last week:
Monday am: 2km
Monday pm: 6km
Friday am: 5km
Saturday pm: 6km
Total: 19km.
So, for this week, I should add 1.9 km to my plan.
Monday am: 2km
Monday pm: 6km
Thursday pm: 6km
Saturday am: 7km
Total: 21 km.
I've already done the monday stuff. My plan is to add to that saturday run every week, and I'll probably add more to the midweek stuff as well. Monday morning I run to the gym, and I am planning to go monday, wednesday and friday, so there is a possible 4 more km. (while there I'll do weights or cycle)
In non-running news, we have a guy leaving our team at work, so if you know c++ and are looking, drop me a line. (of course, you'll have to know me, and what my email addr is. but that is a good filter)
recovering
I guess I ought to mention mondays run... I didnt even time it. Did 5km. Most of me hurt from the waist down, but only for the start of the run, midway though it most of everything started to loosen up. My hips and knees still ache though. I'm trying to figure out how I'll work in a long run this weekend.
