Sun: Rest
Mon: Rest Should have run on Sunday in the nice weather. Today was miserably cold and rainy, so I bailed.
Tue: 20/1:37:18/4:51/Neo This was my first time running a full 20 on the way home from work, which is the good news. The bad new is that despite having two days off, I couldn't pick up the pace, and somehow had a slight muscle pull in my right hamstring for almost the whole run.
Wed: Namban workout 15K total/Zoom XC. 3000/2000/1000 split times were: 11:24/7:22/4:24. I think the garmin was measuring them a bit short, the last 1k I did slow because my hamstring was still bothering me.
Thu: Bike 33k
Fri: Bike 30K SENDAI EARTHQUAKE! Fortunately, I rode my bike because my hamstring was still bothering me. the earthquake hit at 2:46 p.m. and scared the shit out of me. I panicked and bailed from the office to get home on my bike ASAP. It was a crazy ride home, first seeing the smoke from the oil refineries that blew up in Chiba, then having a huge aftershock while waiting at an intersection, and trying to get through the crowds of people waiting outside their office buildings. I still made great time, and was very relieved to find Miho with the boys outside the day care. What a tragic, and life-changing event. We were extremely lucky to have no damage to ourselves or to anyone we know. I really had trouble dealing with it the first two days and had no idea what to do, but at the time of writing this, one week later, I am much more optimistic and very impressed with the country's ability to get back on the horse and get shit together. Go Japan!
That being said, it will probably be a while still before I feel comfortable going very far on a long run...
Sat: Rest Pumped with adrenaline all day and freaked out by the images on TV.
Total mileage: 35K
