I just updated and posted Week 3's blog, now that I am half way into Week 4. I am feeling overwhelmed and under motivated to keep this up. Thank goodness for this blog holding me accountable. I'm using mapmyrun.com to daily log my workouts. I'm going to use my log to quickly catch up this blog and get it caught up from Monday and Tuesday, so there will not be much explanation on what happend or how the workout felt.
Day One: Monday 5.16.11
Ran morning loop (0.9 mi) in 6min and 21 sec.
@ 3:30 Ran high school loop (2.28 mi 19 min, Avg. 8.19 min/mi)
**First time I ran in the rain. LOVED IT!
Day Two: Tuesday 5.17.11
Ran high school loop in the morning (2.28 mi 19m 7s, Avg. 8.23 min/mi)
**Afternoon run rained out, heavy rainfall
Day Three: Wednesday
@ 5am
Ran 1.05 mi loop behind Woodside Cemetery
***Extremely hard to get out of bed this morning. The rainy weather is really not increasing my motivation. I have to push through it. Once I was up, this run was SUPER easy! If the weather doesn't help me kick some tar, then I'll be hitting the gym this week, I can't slack off.
Day Four: Thursday 5.19.11
@ 2pm
Ran from Sippican Elementary (Marion) to East Fairhaven Elem (Fairhaven) 7.58 miles in 1h 18min
***2.5 miles into this run, it began to thunder and lightning. Approx 4 miles in, it began to pour down rain. The run felt great after the 3rd mile. I was soaked, but LOVED it! This run helped me maintain a breathing pattern. It would be highly benficial for me to get an Ipod or MP3 player (not that I could use it on rainly days like today).
Day Five: Friday 5.20.11
@ 5am
Short run around the park and behind the cemetery. 1.05mi in 7m 45s
***Nice way to get my day started. Knees a little sore.
Weekend of softball, friends, and no training. GREAT week!
