The past week (February 13 - 19) was the first week I did not train at all. I missed the speed training on Tuesday evening because I was just beginning to fight off a cold. The cold worsened on Wednesday through Saturday. I was reviewing my running diary and it was actually the first week since April 2010 that I did not run at all. So I decided to view this as a rest week. And I did rest. I went to bed early and did not go out at night...... On Sunday, February 20, 2011 I missed the team's long run for the first time. However, I did run the lake in Wakefield by myself. I ran 9.54 miles at about 6:30 pm and overall, it went well. I did resume speed training this past Tuesday, February 22, 2011. I did 16 sets of 400 meters with 200 meters recovery lap. I really enjoyed this, and finally began to understand how this training translates into improved marathon times. Coach Jack Fultz is really helpful with his vast knowledge of training and successful marathon training. He is patient and encouraging with all the questions we ask him. Thanks Coach!
