This week's plan:
Power pump class
I was actually proud about this week. It was such a busy week at work with the first week of school, and I felt proud that I even got out at all. The days that I went out and exercised, I really just wanted to go to bed.
My easy 4 mile run was by no means easy. I went out and literally felt like a zombie. I just trudged on for the first two miles, but I really felt out of it and exhausted. It was over 90 degrees outside (I avoid running in the heat). At the turn around point, things improved, probably because mentally I was almost done.
My 10-mile run was great. I was supposed to do the Color Run, but last night I just emotionally couldn't handle getting up that early and then getting back from the race so late. I knew there was no way I could get home at 10:30, shower, run seven more miles, plan a sharing time lesson, plan my week's school lessons, and go grocery shopping. Clayton felt like I was taking off more than I could chew and that I needed to find something to cut out. I figured the only thing I could cut out was the race. I am glad I did. I could sleep in a little longer, and get some things done in the early morning. It saved me a lot of time.
I was able to go do my ten miles. I felt really strong. At around six miles, I felt like my pace and power picked up and I was able to carry it to the end.
Next week's plan:
4.5 @ 1/2 marathon pace
Power pump class
4.5 easy
11 miles long run
Two more training weeks until the half marathon!!! :) I got our hotel reservation today and did some reading on the website. I am getting excited!
