1999 Training Log

December 17, 1999 YMCA - 4 miles on treadmill @ 5:20 pace. Still recovering some from a slight cold.
December 18, 1999 YMCA - 9 miles on treadmill @ 6:59 pace for first 3, 6:54 for next 3, and 6:49 for last 3. Solid hour run...struggled some the last mile.
December 19, 1999 YMCA - 9 miles on treadmill - same workout as yesterday
December 20, 1999 Lifted only. Figured I should take a day easy after 22 miles in the past 3 days.
December 21, 1999 Dome speed workout. The first in a very long time. Originally planned on 3 mile repeats. Did the first too fast (5:26). Ended up finishing with 3/4mi, 1/2mi, and 1/4mi at increasing pace.
December 22, 1999 YMCA - 14.4 miles on the treadmill @ 6:59/mile pace. 100 minute run. New record treadmill distance for me. Not a workout I would want to do everyday...very boring. Could have gone more...but I sped up the final mile instead.
December 23, 1999 YMCA - Did some upperbody lifting first and after decided to run. Got a little too motivated and ended up breaking another personal best. 5.25 miles @ 6:00/mile pace on the treadmill. Quite suprised with my strength after yesterdays workout and lifting before.
December 24, 1999 No run today. Had to work in the morning and then drove home to Gladstone in the afternoon. Spent the rest of the day with the family.
December 25, 1999 No run today.
December 26, 1999 YMCA - 3 miles on treadmill. Didn't feel very good due to eating too much and being lazy the 2 days before.
December 27, 1999 Visited the YMCA in Sault Ste Marie Canada. Did 4 miles at 6:40 pace. Couldn't concentrate on the running because I was concerned about finding my way back to the US. I was totally lost, no idea how I found it in the first place.
December 28, 1999 No run. Visited my co-workers parents home for dinner and worked the rest of the day.
December 29, 1999 Threshold run on treadmill at the Y. 15 min at 6:23 pace, 7 min at 6:15 pace, 3 min at 6:00 pace. Still doggy after breaking up my routine. Need to get back on schedule.
