4 miles w/ Sara, 10:30 pace. It was SLOW, I had to remind myself that's what I needed to see how good I felt and if I could go harder or not the rest of the week. I felt pretty good on this run. I think w/ some good food & sleep today I'll be ready for 5-6 mi. w/ strides tomorrow. I'm running the Tuachan Duathlon 5K this Sat. My plan for week is: (my cold better cooperate!! so far it hasn't gotten any worse, still head conjestion and sore throat- just don't want it to move to chest as my colds usually do...)
Today- 4 mi. w/ Sara (2 more alone tonight)
Wed- 5-6 w/ at least 7 strides w/ Heather
Thurs- 4 w/ Sara (2 more alone at night)
Friday- 5 alone
Sat- race
I still want to get my 26 miles in for the week without making my cold worse and without tiring myself out for the 5k on Sat. Any suggestions anyone? Maybe I could break up my runs and try to fit in a couple easy miles at night?
BTW- Sara is doing great! She ran her 1st 5k end of Oct. and averaged almost 12 min. miles. Now she's running 4 miles in 10:30 w/ me! I think she'll be ready to go longer and faster soon- I just don't want to push her- want running to be fun for her. She's lost almost 20 lbs since she started running- bravo! |
