Ocean Drive Week 12 - 03.10.14 - 03.16.14

03.10.14 - SRD - got in late Sunday nite and too exhausted from the busy weekend including running a half marathon so a much deserved SRD it was.

03.11.14 - 10.5m - 8:35 avg pace - legs still a bit fatigued from the race last week so took it nice and easy just to get back into a groove again and kick-off my last hard week of training before the taper begins.

03.12.14 - 14m w/4x1.5m@HMP w/800 rec - splits of 7:05, 7:01, 7:11, 7:15 - legs still a bit fatigued but starting to come around. Finally some decent weather to hit track again at CASHS for first time since the end of the Philly cycle. Felt good to do some good quality on the track again. Decent workout considering I just ran a half even if I was not completely happy withlast 2 splits fighting the wind and all.

03.13.14 - 8.5m - 8:33 avg pace - a bit on the chilly side at 16 degrees but comfortable enough to run outside this morning. kept it nice and easy. Legs did not feel too bad today.

03.14.14 - 8.25m - 8:35 avg pace - warmer than yesterday and another easy 8+ miles to continue on with running week. Overslept this morning but glad to get a solid ruin in anyhow.

03.15.14 - 15.5m w/9m@MP - 7:30 avg pace - early start with a busy day ahead on a Saturday. 2+m warm-up and MP miles.  Felt pretty good for most of MP run started to fight some bad wind toward end. Fought thru  9m and decided to call it there with last mile split of 7:50. Run was counter productive at that point. Plan was for 10m@MP but 9 was good enough. Cooled down with  4m to top out at 15m.

03.16.14 - 18.3m LR - 8:12 avg pace - last real LR in the books. Pretty consistent splits for a LR especially after MP run yesterday. Hit some bad wind towards end to slow me down, but a good effort in the end to get me to Taperville.

Last hard week in the books. Bring on the taper!
