Training 10/11-10/17

 10/11- Forced rest day.  NASTY adrenal spike.

10/12- Intervals.  Opener in 1:42.  Closer in 1:28.  Rocket 88.  Added some junk

Distance-1.0

10/13- Adrenal spike is slowly going down.  Splits this time were 93-81.  Real workout was just as awful as expected.  1.5 miles in 16:23 (10:55 pace).  OUCH!  Should be better tomorrow but not by much.

Distance=2.0

10/14- Got about what I expected.  Felt noticeably better and it was reflected in my time but I still have a LONG way to go.  This adrenal spike has lasted longer than previous ones.  2 miles in 19:40 (9:50 pace) with a last mile under 9:40.

Distance=2.0

10/15- Repeated the 2 mile distance for consistency and my time is down to 17:52 (8:56 pace).

Distance=2.0

10/16- Increased the distance to 3 miles but took a step backward.  Really faded on the back half and finished with a time over 31 minutes.  I did consume one energy drink yesterday as a test and I failed it.  I don't like this.  Yes, I should have no problem quitting those suckers when my chemistry is level but one occasional slip up should not do this much damage.

Distance=3.5

10/17-  Half mile junk run was all that I could do.

Distance=0.5

-9 miles on the week
