So writing this blog isn't going to be great as I took today as a rest day and feel really really bad about it. Too tired today to run. Had my first night out in about a month so it really hit my hard today. I think a run may have given me energy but actually getting out of the house to do it, was not happening! And it was really really warm today (best excuse!). So back to my week! This week felt really easy for some reason. I feel like I haven't run at all even though I did every day but today. I will make up for today tomorrow which means tough week ahead but have to make up for it!
Session 1: 3.5miles, Tuesday. This was a really bad run. I felt crap and crampy but Holly said better a bad run then no run. Ah well, ran 3.22miles. That's all I could muster and it was tough but sure! I think I thought it was supposed to be 3.5miles but there was no way I could do that! Tuesday runs seem to be the hardest. Maybe starting off slow tomorrow will be a nice break into it? We'll see.
Session 2: CT, Tuesday. So I did my CT that evening instead of Wednesday. I did a 45minute (I think or maybe an hour) of aqua aerobics. This wasn't as intense as a running session but my arms were very tired after it and it's good to mix up some sports really. Felt fine after this and even did a couple lengths of the pool.
Session 3: 5miles, Thursday. This run was really good. Felt great during and after it! Was another early morning run so woke up 20mins early to eat a slice of toast, rest and then was on my way! Did it with a good pace too so that was good. Didn't really feel tired at all during the day! Only went over the mileage slightly 5.07. Was looking forward to the long run then!
Session 4: 6mile Saturday. Woke up early and ate some toast again. Made sure I got plenty of stretching in and found my route. Was a really sunny morning and seemed really warm. My legs felt really tight the first mile or two and then loosened out and the run was great! The initial change to the route was slightly off putting as I really didn't know where I was going and I ended up adding a lot more then I thought to the run. Got a couple "good mornings" which was nice! Overall was a great run. Didn't need to slow down (only at the top of the extremely steep climb along the canal but it is sooo steep and sudden!). Thought a lot during the run which made it go by really quickly. Ended up doing 6.52miles with a really good pace! I did crash though at about 3pm. Had a nap but great run!
Rest day today oooops, should really have done the recovery run. Ah well.
Total mileage: 14.81miles
Total time: 184minutes and 55seconds
