The last two weeks - life (and death) intervenes

My mother and sister were visiting on the week on 10/4 since my niece was getting married out here. I just didn't feel like running on Tuesday of that week. That workout (long tempo on the track) has been suffering for a few weeks due to problems with my right soleus (see previous months) and disruptions (see previous weeks). I will be going to Arizona for 3 consecutive weekends starting Halloween weekend in order to clean up my brother's house. That will disrupt my long run on Saturday which has been progressing steadily. So I'm using this opportunity to move my workouts to more of a Lydiard schedule which I was pretty close to anyway. So the plan is to get the weekdays into that schedule over the 3 weeks when I will be in Arizona on weekends. Then I'll see where my long run is on the 3rd weekend in November. Hopefully I won't lose anything and I'll be able to resume with a long run around 26 miles.
So here are the last two weeks:
  • 1st week
  • 10/4 - 7, 5@7:34 pace
  • 10/5 - 4 easy
  • 10/6 - 2 just didn't feel like it.
  • 10/7 - 11.33 on trails, 2308 vertical
  • 10/8 - 8.38 on trails, 1405 vertical
  • 10/9 - 24.25 on trails, 4929 vertical, 13:06 pace
  • 10/10 - nothing (niece's wedding)
  • 2nd week
  • 10/11 - 7, 5@7:27 pace
  • 10/12 - 4 easy
  • 10/13 - 1.25 (soleus complaint)
  • 10/14 - 7.56 on trails, 1378 vertical
  • 10/15 - 1 easy
  • 10/16 - 25.93, 5405 vertical, 14:11 pace
  • 10/17 - nothing (memorial service for my brother)
