So our school district takes (but doesn't pay for) all the 6th graders on a three night 4 day trip to a camp in the mountains. It's a pretty cool thing and the camp is in a great area in the mtns. Needless to say, after my Sunday run, I took Monday off. We left Tuesday and I still didn't feel like I'd be able to run much. I did take my gear though. Cutting to the meat, I got in a 45 min. run on Wed morning. On Thursday morning I hiked and ran between four different groups taking pictures, so I'll count that as an hour workout, though not a run, but I'm sure my HR was up. Did I mention the camp sits at about 9,000 ft.? The good thing about High trails is that we walk everywhere, so we're on our feet moving for several hours a day. They do feed us well, but the snacks are limited. All in all it was a great week, I ate a lot, but most of it wasn't too bad (lots of starches) and had lots of water and few snacks. I was always moving - as one would expect being the only adult in a cabin with 46 boys and walking around for six hours a day.
This week, not so good. I haven't worked out once. I haven't eaten great either, not bad, but not as good as the two previous weeks. Football ends today, so that will free up a lot of time and allow me to do some work after school and workout without getting home at 8:00. Hopefully this was my little low that i always seem to hit before big races. I'm behind in my training, but I'm banking lots on four things for the marathon: 1)being 10 pounds lighter than Colfax 2) lower elevation 3) flat course 4) cool temps. I suppose we'll find out in 51 days.
How do the 270's feel? You should be able to be in the 260's by SA!!!
