Weekend Review.

Ugh! Bad weekend. It's been cold and snowing since about Thursday, I've done what I could but after skipping my rest day and perhaps working a little too hard Saturday, I was dead on Sunday. This week was a down week in the training and the "long" Sunday run was only 6-8 miles, I did maybe one while shoveling snow along my street.

Saturday I met a friend at 10am for a spinning class followed by strength training and lifting. The spinning class was harder than I expected but I still think I did well. It was a great workout. Saturday quickly fell apart as a met my friends to work on cars and had a few beers, then some JD, then... well I dunno we were wondering down Colfax Avenue (ironically the very road along which I will be running my marathon).

Sunday was cold with a high of around 20 and snowy and after days of snow and cold the sidewalks were not the normal soft fluff but more unconsolidated mushy ice. It was not fun to shovel and probably even worse to run on. I took the opportunity to clean up the house and catch up on other chores. I feel bad blowing a day off, but I feel good and I'm feeling ready to pound the pavement again. It's early on, and like I said earlier, I wasn't blowing off a 20 miler... so it could be worse. Still bad, but not terrible, yet.
