Total/Summary
Total: 95 Miles
Summary: The reason I do not plan off days are due to situations I may come across which require rest, in other words being sick. I was ill from Tuesday through Thursday with some stomach virus that allowed me to crap out everything I ate/drank/smoked. It was real weird, but I'm better and rather not speak about it anymore. So this has become my down week as I tooked out a planned progression/tempo and cut out some doubles on top of my off day. I flew to Colorado to visit some family and have been able to take advantage of the ALTITUDE! which everyone seems so fond of, and I can understand why... Other than running, I have been watching TV, working on puzzles, playing UNO, brushing my teeth, eating ham sandwiches, and even talking to my other teammates on the phone, all at altitude. With that said, I am excited to return to Boston to show off my improved skills in these field at sea level.
Quote of the life of my blog:
"It has no effect. It's attitude, not altitude"
-Cheesy quote from Arthur Lydiard who argued that one should just stay at sea level and train harder, than go to altitude and train slower.
"I don't understand why we cant just inject EPO into our systems"
-Quote taken horribly out of context by the cheater named Steven Dewitt

the altitude shouldn't be much of an adjustment for you, considering you live in a tower that has 18 stories. that should be plenty of altitude training.
