Latest run

Since the last time I wrote about running, I have not followed my 10k training.  Lucky for me, the schedule is for 8 weeks and I have more than 8 weeks.  I decided this would be the week I really stick to it!

I started out with Sunday, a long run day.  For whatever reason, I decided to go right before dinner.  It had been 5 hours since I ate so I was not fueled up enough at all!  And boy could I tell.  Before this run, I had run a few times for 20 to 25 minutes without stopping.  On this run I had to stop many times.

Monday I did a little bit of strength training.

Tuesday was a 2.5 mile run.  I managed that with no problem!  I learned my lesson about running without fuel.  Everything went so much better and I didn't have to stop at all.  However, my shins began to hurt.

Wednesday is cross training.  I took the dogs for a 30 minute walk... shins still hurting.

The rest of the week it rained, and rained, and rained some more.  The rain combined with a holiday, the Fourth of July, and my shins hurting lead to me taking Thursday off.

Friday is an off day... woohoo!

Saturday was 40 minutes of cross training.  Since it was still raining, I went to the gym and did a cycling machine.

All and all I think I did pretty well!  Hopefully I'll keep it up and be able to run my end of August 10k.

This blog may be changing soon.  I'm considering making this more of a mommy/running blog... maybe.
