Running week 8: back on the horse
Oct. 20th, 2008 09:14 amHeh, it's funny, I just watched the episode this icon is from this morning while Jonah and I were killing time before school.
Back to it this week in full force. I managed to get in my 5 days this week. We skipped out on the Halloween 5k because, well, last minute registration was expensive ($35 as opposed to $20 if I had registered in August, multiply that by two and the cost of getting together costumes and, well it didn't seem worth it). The same group does a Cinco de Mayo race and I think a few others, all with huge block parties following the race. I'm definitely going to do the Halloween one next year and maybe some of their other ones as well. It just sounds like a ton of fun! Anyway, even though we didn't do the race, I did run Saturday. Here's what the week looked like:
Monday: rest
Tuesday: 2.35 miles in 31 mins (run 5 mins/walk 30 sec) (avg. pace 13:10/mi)
Wednesday: 2.35 miles in 31 mins (run 5 mins/walk 30 sec) (avg. pace 13:10/mi)
Thursday: rest
Friday: 2.35 miles in 30 mins (run 5 mins/walk 30 sec) (avg. pace 12:46/mi)
Saturday: 2.53 miles in 32 mins (run 5 mins/walk 30 sec) (avg. pace 12:37/mi)
Sunday: 2.35 miles in 30 mins (run 5 mins/walk 30 sec) (avg. pace 12:46/mi)
Mileage totals:
Week - 11.93 miles
Month - 14.28 miles
Year - 93.81 miles
There's no way at this point that I'm going to make my 50 miles in a month goal again this month. Last month I was just under 7 miles short. This month, the first two weeks of my training calendar look absolutely pathetic (one day of 2.35 miles in two weeks). I must say though, that only having two lazy weeks out of 8 weeks of training isn't too shabby. This week, I'll be starting back to the plan, picking up on week 7. I saw Jennifer out walking yesterday while I was planting pansies in the front bed. Apparently she's done the exact same thing. She missed her race the first weekend of October because she was sick and was cycling through illnesses for about two weeks, just like I was. She's trying to get back out now and keep going, even though she doesn't have another race to work towards.
Oh, and J-9, mapmyrun.com now has an iPhone app. I'm not sure what all it does but it's free and it's running+apple related, so I thought you might want to play with it if nothing else.
