AM: 5 Stupid roger williams park has this pumpkin festival every halloween in which they have something like 1000+ carved pumpkins. That is all fine and good except that now they are all piled near part of my loop and are rotting. I have to hold back the vomit every time i pass it.
am: 5 gettin' cold. 37 degrees. Still went with short sleeves and gloves tho and it was the right call. I go for shorts until below 24F. gonna try running with the club today and hope they dont pound me too hard. Prob cut off of the 8 group for 6 at hope st but we'll see if they are going a relatively easy pace i will do 8.
PM: 7 with the club. We did the bike path so i could turn around wherever I wanted. Low 7 pace which was not easy but not terrible either. Not bad considering my weight. I hardly want to say it here its so embarrasing... 174. Not my max ever either. Since Ive been fully grown Ive been as high as 180 and as low as 150 (both of which happened in the same year, damn 3rd year of medical school). Goal is always 145 lol. I think i would race great at that weight. Gonna take a while and a lot of discipline.
AM: 6.25 went down to watch the downhill mile and did some cooldown and striders with ppl. The club took 1 and 2 for male and 2 for female. We could have easily taken 123 for male and female but some ppl are running xc tomorrow and others are running nyc tomorrow. And Im just building mileage now. Speaking of which. Wow I am beat. But thats what you get for going 0, 15, 75.
PM: 6.15 feeling good now lol, it swings back and forth. also p90x abs workout
PM: 8 feel like i pulled my right hamstring. Could this be an injury from upping my mileage too fast? Well even so I dont think it will stop me from running.
AM: 5 very very slow and comfortable. at 5am after only 5 hours of sleep i was not ready for anything strenuous
PM: 7.5 ran with diana who was doing a workout. I only did 1.5 miles at 6:05 pace. So much easier when skinny. Takes so long to lose weight. This time I have to keep it off.
pm: 8 finally feeling a little hip discomfort that I am used to. was hoping that how i was running now was making that not happen but seems that it was just a matter of time
pm: 8.2 late, was on long call today (6am-8pm) but still got it in. Just not quite 90 for the week. not bad. dont feel bad. Been going slow but even so I would expect it to be much worse.
PM: 8.5 with the club, modified haynes classic winter version to not include a hairpin turn but now includes a really steep hill at mile 4.5. Gotta work on this
am: 5 rain, deep puddles, luckily it was only 56 degrees so not cold enough to be a real bother.
pm: 8 post-call, got done at like 10pm then had some drinks while watching the TV and fell asleep on the couch until 3am. This has happened a couple of times recently. Bad habit.
AM: 5, sick of this rotation, need a day off. Worked both days last weekend. Finally get one on saturday. Will have to spend the whole thing cleaning and doing other chores catching up on things ive put off because of work. And to top it off, im working 6am-8pm on thanksgiving day.
PM: 8 with first 6 at 7min pace. the running club right now is down to some pretty beastly runners, but I seem to stick with them longer and longer, once the weight is down daily runs at 7min pace in the cold shouldnt be a problem but right now its tough
AM: 13.5 ten mile river greenway loop, first time in a few months going this long but felt pretty good. took it easy but had some times when I was feeling it and went decently fast.
PS: woot 90 mile week despite being on a rotation that simulates intern year of residency. All I do is work, eat, run, and sleep but its working just gotta keep it up
AM: feel like utter shit, well, running wise i feel pretty good. I just hate working these hours and getting no respect. gotta grind through it. 2 more weeks to freedom. its not gonna help that thanksgiving I will be working from 6am-8pm and oh yeah, im paying for the privilege to do this
PM: got off at 4pm and have dinner planned with my team and attending at 5:30 so went for 5 before and 5 after lol
AM: second day off this month including weekends... well, makes it that much sweeter. 8 miles felt very good first 5, final 3 were a bit stiff, first 5 in about 7:15 pace, back in 7:50ish
PM: feeling freakishly good given the miles ive put in. somehow they arent touching me. I feel stronger every day. 8 in 7:15 pace. to be fair this route is pretty darn flat, it rolls a bit in roger williams park and there are slight grades going out and coming back but nothing difficult lasting more than 100m. Felt so good i finished with some sprints cause i felt like it.
PM: 8 at 9pm then 5 hours sleep.... almost done with this rotation. Next week will be traveling and interviewing for residency programs. It'll be a down week Ill shoot for 70.
