Well, after wondering aloud last week if it was time to build an ark, Mother Nature took pity on us and finally dragged the sun out of it’s hiding place! Not having to dodge raindrops did make running more enjoyable!
Run to Remember Training Week 7
Monday – Rest.
Tuesday – 4 miles and the first glimpse of the glowing orb!
Wednesday – Strength work focusing on PT exercises and core work.
Thursday – 5 miles, plus a massage!
Friday – A short yoga session.
Saturday – 9 miles.
The highlight of this week was definitely the running. I logged 18 miles and best of all, in the sunshine! This was also the first week in a long time with early morning runs – this is one of my May goals so it was nice to start to make the shift.
On the whole, the runs felt pretty good, though to be honest the last of 2 miles of Saturday’s run included more walk breaks then I would have liked. I am clearly out of practice with my fueling for both pre-run and during for a longer distance and it showed in those final miles. I’ve got a double-digit run next weekend which will give me a chance to practice before race day.
On another note, I cannot let today go by without wishing my wonderful mom and all of my fellow mother runners a very Happy Mother’s Day!
I’m linking up with Deborah and Kim for the Weekly Run Down link-up.
