September 18, Friday
So, after my successful 5K run, I did sign up for the six-week 5K series hosted by the Shore AC on various courses around Monmouth County every Saturday starting on September 26th. Since making that commitment I have been training very well and quite consistently also. But for reasons I can’t explain I have been failing to post my workouts. Everything is recorded on my workout calendar and on Garmin Connect, but I have not added to my +70RUNNER blog. Below is 12 day catch up attempt.
September 7th, Monday, rest
September 8th, Tuesday, 3 miles on the Cinders with 2 * 800 at 4:50 and 4:35 along the way.
September 9th and 10th, Today was the beginning of an unusual stomach event that caused me to take 2 days off to recover. I never figured out what it was, but fortunately it is not returned.
September 11th, Friday, 4.5 mi in 1 hour on the Cinders – Back in motion!
September 12th, Saturday, 5 miles and 55 minutes on the Jackson Township roads. Felt good today.
September 13th, Sunday, 2.5 miles on the Cinders in 40 minutes with 10 moderate speed segments of 60 seconds along the way. Tired legs.
September 14th, Monday, Day of rest.
September 15th, Tuesday, Double session today – first 2 miles of work at Holmdel Park with four times up the 400m start Hill at a moderate pace . Then later in the day 4 miles in 47 minutes on Jackson Township roads. Good day!
September 16th, Wednesday, 3 miles on the grass soccer fields at the senior center with 13 fast speed segments of 140m along the way! Very good day!

September 18th, Friday, 5 miles at the senior center in one hour. 1.5 Min warm up on the cinders. 3.5 on the grass with 7 long surges of 501 of 1000 oil at below 9-minute pace. Very positive e day.
Up to date………….!
Thank you Richard Refi for trying to keep me on task.
Stats- I think because I am being careful to take off days to rest when needed my stats have remained solid and positive for quite a while now.
Particularly happy with holding weight under 145lbs consistently. Getting plenty of rest and eating well also helps a lot.
