Running Week 2: If I can do it in this weather, I can do it anytime!
As has been reported quite thoroughly already, I've run in some pretty unreal temperatures this week. So, I now have absolutely no excuse on better days when I don't go out and run. I still didn't get the full 5 runs in this week, but I did one better than last week, so it's still an improvement. I really have no excuse for not running yesterday, other than just getting caught up in other things (making jewelry, mostly) and generally being lazy. Here was my week:
Mon - 2x1 mile repeats; 3.04 total miles in 38 minutes; 1st mile 10:45, 2nd mile 11:25
Tues - rest
Wed - 1.25 mile straight run; 1.96 total miles in 22:46; 1.25 miles in 13:48
Thurs - 1 mile straight run; 1.61 total miles in 20:04; 1 mile in 11:28
Fri - rest
Sat - rest
Sun - 1.5 mile straight run; 2.53 total miles in 30:50; 1st mile 10:47, half mile 5:14
Mileage totals:
Week - 9:14
Month - 16:37
Year - 16:37
Today's run in the upper 40s was MUCH nicer. Almost balmy compared to that run on Thursday. Next week I'm going to be back down to just three runs for the week, including the race. I want to get in plenty of rest, but I also want to stay conditioned and even step up a little more. I plan to rest tomorrow, run 1.75 miles on Tuesday, rest Wednesday, run 2 miles on Thursday, rest on Friday then the race on Saturday and of course resting on Sunday. Let's see if I can stick to it. I can pick up my race packet on Thursday or Friday. If the weather is nice enough, I might make it Thursday so I can take Jonah to the zoo while I'm out there.
