Anyhow, the plan for now is a week or so away from the track. I'll probably run Tuesday evening with the hill group, but nothing hard for the next ten days or so, then I'll start in on a solid 12-16 week program including a bit more volume and two-three quality days per week of speed work. With daylight hours closing in in the evenings, I'll have to find a track that has a decent amount of ambient lighting, since the HS tracks aren't open to the public, or start using a headlamp.
Given how busy we've been lately, and William's 16th birthday was last weekend, I took the kids to Houston Grand Prix for some go-cart racing and game playing afterwards. The kids enjoyed getting away from things for an afternoon, and we followed up with a family dinner out at Texas Roadhouse, which also doubled as the birthday dinner for William and I. Dessert later was a delicious, but quite filling, slice of ice cream cake from Cold Stone Creamery. It was a good, low stress Saturday for a change.
Today I decided to take a day off from running as I had run the past six days and there was no reason to really get out today. The legs could use a day from the past few weeks of training and the Fajita Mile Friday evening. An easy morning around the house and doing a bit of work on the computer, then William and I spent a bit of time at the Kingwood Classic Cruisers car show at the Kingwood town center. It sure would be nice to have the space and money to get an old Chevelle and rework it into something like these cars.
