Monday
Training Update
Last
week I finished with a total of 46 miles. This is the most miles I have done in
a week since my marathon training in late November. I finished the week with
the Low Tide Ride and stride. This race is an 8.2-mile run from Imperial Beach
to Coronado. I did not meet my goal of 1:10:00 but I did PR with a time of
1:12:24. I ran in my Vivobarefoot Evo II, these shoes are one of my favorite
racers/training shoes. Three out of the five #teamIAM crew was there. Last year
all five of us ran it! Joseph(@jabridgeforth) broke his PR along with Quentin.
Both of them were running in the NB minimus road. Overall the race was really
fun, I personally had a blast, and this is one race I will be looking forward
to next year!
Train
for this week will have a max mileage of 30. Monday I am taking off because of
the race the day before. Tuesday is a 3mi run, Wednesday is 5mi at a easy pace,
Thursday is the speed day with a 2mi warm up 3mi tempo run 1mi cool down. For
the weekend Friday will be another 3mi run, Saturday will be a 6mi day at easy
pace, on Sunday I will finish with a 7mi long run. The day I am looking forward
to most is Friday. This is because a few of the runner from the cross-country
team along with the coaches will be participating in a 5k race for the
military. The race is called the MCRD Freedom run; I ran in it last year and am
looking for a 5k PR this year! I am trying to run at an 8 min pace… so my goal
for the race is a 22 min finish!
After
this race I’m going to try and focus strictly on training with no races in the
month of July, unless someone springs something upon me. I really need to bear
down and get ready to coach this fall.
K.E.

Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along
the right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no
evil, for you are with me;
your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of
my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow
me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
