Training Week 2/3/14

2/4/14 - Ran the 6 mile loop and did a 1.5 mile cooldown.  Ran the loop at a HR below 142.
2/5/14 - Ran at the cove doing the Gauntlet/Trough Loop.  Did a couple out and backs as I waited for the rest of the group to get in 8 miles.  My low back is still hurting on steep climbs and any place where I have to hike. 
2/7/14 - Ran the 10 mile bridge street greenway loop at HR below 142. 
2/8/14 - Did the Mtn Cross II race at night.  Got in 12.75 miles total with warm-up, race and cool down.  These races are non stop, lung burning, go go go races.  It feels good to get the HR up for these short events. 
2/9/14 - Ran 18 which consisted of a 11 Lewis Gale loop and then 6 miles with James.  Both runs were kept at a HR below 142. 
The low back is getting better but I'm not back to 100% yet.  I'm starting to see the effects of the running at or below 142.  My pace is getting better at the same HR week to week. 
Total for the week; 43.5 running and 12.75 mtn biking.
