i finished off december and 2008 with an easy 5-mile run today. it wasn't anything special other than the fact it was the last run of the year, just an easy run to log some miles as i wind down my goofy training. i ran outside and it felt wayyy easier and wayyy slower than the past two days of running on the treadmill.
mid-day run: 5 miles, 46:21 (9:16 avg pace), avg/max hr (149/183)
overall december was another good month. i had a confidence-boosting mile repeat workout, a great 20-mile training run with an average pace just shy of another bq-paced marathon, and logged a record high 62-mile-week. i'm a little sad i won't have a week that high in mileage for awhile, but it'll be nice to have a little (tiny, short, miniscule) break. i did better at getting in abs than previous months, but on a weekly basis there is still room for improvement. i also fell off the yoga train again, but i'm telling myself i will be busy yoga-ing the week after goofy since i am going to try to force myself to take a few days off from running.
total mileage: 200.64
time spent running: 29:38:23
days off: 7 (1 due to an abnormally high rhr, 2 due to family emergency, & 4 scheduled rest days)
abs/yoga: 7 ab workouts/0 yoga sessions
avg resting hr: 52.26
avg max hr: 185.50
