Preparing for the next attempt at the summit

My target 5k is one week away. One more week of pain, then perhaps a 19-minute 5k... or perhaps several more weeks of pain.

I have two weeks worth of training stats to post, since I didn't post any last week. A bad stomach bug sidelined me earlier this week, but I got mostly back on track... and lost some weight, which is helpful.

The Homer Simpson equipment check: Running shoes? Check. Sweat bands? Check. Nipple tape? Check, check, and check. Ready to run.

(Last week)
Sunday: ride 32m
Monday: run intervals -- 6 x 400 meters; then run 2m tempo
Wednesday: ride time trial
Thursday: run 5m
Friday: run 4m
Saturday: race 5k (19:13)

(This week)
Sunday through Tuesday: sick
Wednesday: run 6.5m
Thursday: run 4k tempo
Friday: run intervals -- 12 x 400 meters (87 sec. ave.)
Saturday: ride 42m
