Aerobic Base Training Week 2

I think I'll make some changes about how I enter information. I want to enter my weight, BMI, and RHR once a week, and Monday seems like a good day to do that, so I'll start making my weeks go from Monday to Sunday instead of Sunday to Saturday. Also, I'm going to try to get in the routine of making Monday my day off, as it will be a good way to recover from long runs over the weekend, and because dealing with the boys' day care stuff on Monday is quite a hassle, so I want to be able to go in late without having to come home too late because of running. I think Maffetone's idea of figuring out where the controllable stress is in your life and doing your best to cut it out makes a lot of sense. Not that it's some kind of revolutionary idea or anything, but when applied to improving training, it is easier to get motivated.

Sun: 50:48/142/BF A beautiful afternoon after spending the day at an amusement park with the boys. Considered maybe taking the day off because of all that activity, but was easy enough to get out the door, so I did. Ran the loop around Shioiri park, and was really interesting because I had to slow myself down during the uphill and run faster during the downhill. Feet felt great, no blistering or abrasion at all. 

Mon: Weight: 76.8/BMI: 14.5 Couldn't get a good RHR because forgot part of the monitor, and by the time I was up to get it, could not really get into a fully rested state again. I suspect that part of this drop in weight may be at least partially due to dehydration, but we'll see. 

54:26/1:41/XC Zoom Run home from work along the Sumidagawa. Was a bit surprised at how slow I had to run to keep my HR down, but also found it really interesting that following my HR really forced me to run at the speed my body could handle. If I hadn't been following HR, I likely would have pushed myself harder and possibly hurt myself. As it was, I was having issues with the tightness in my right hamstring again, so I think tomorrow will be a good day to bike to work and not run.
Tue: RHR: 42. Couldn't get it below 50 in bed for some reason, but when I went in to sit on the toilet and really concentrated on relaxing, in particular long exhalations, it dropped down to 42.
Bike 45 km total, timed 36 min@140 BPM average. Got in a bit more than that on the ride home from work, but was a bit drunk, so decided not to count it...
Wed: 1:02/142/Evo. First time doing the run home along the Arakawa in a while. Was pretty interesting, as after the warm up, my pace was really slow, probably around 5:00, but after about 5-7k, I was pushing pretty hard to keep my HR up, and felt like I was running at 4:30 or faster, then had to slow down again after a while. Was a good workout, and may take the day off tomorrow in preparation for some good running over the weekend.
Thu: Bike 33k, no HR tracking.
Fri: Run up Maruyama (see separate post) 1:42/140/XC Zoom
Sat: Rest. Legs completely shot.

Total time: 4:29:14. Doesn't really mean anything yet because this is my first week just tracking time.
