Wednesday-
Didn't have to sub today, so I went running this morning: 6 miles in 58 minutes. Felt pretty good too. The weather was very nice. It was so cool out at 8am.
I need to run in the morning more often to get used to it for the race.
Will do 4 or 5 on Friday and then the LONG run Sat. morning: 8 miles.

Running the Good Race
Tuesday-
Ran 3 miles yesterday in 22 minutes. I decided to run at a fast pace since I felt pretty good. It is funny how 3miles is so easy now.
It was warm out yesterday, but I still enjoyed my run. No knee pain at all, which is always nice.
Will rest today then run 5 or 6 miles Wednesday.

Running the Good Race
Saturday-
Ran up North Mountain on Friday for endurance.
Today we set out to run 8 miles, but we ran 7.5 and walked 1/2 a mile. I was really burnt out at mile 5, so we walked 1/2 mile into mile 6 then ran the rest of the way. I am glad we walked otherwise I wouldn't have finished. I just pooped out!
I need to buy those energy Jelly Bellies to help out. I also didn't eat enough carbohydrates today. Had plenty of protein, but not enough carbs. My body just quit too early. Everything else felt fine: a little knee and ankle pain at the start, but it went away.
Will REST tomorrow then run on Monday.

Running the Good Race
Monday-
Ran 3 miles in 28 minutes tonight. It was so nice outside! What a difference cooler air makes. I am actually enjoying my runs now.
Knees were still a bit touchy and my left ankle was tight, but I felt great. Did weights and hamstring work when I got home.
Will do 5 miles on Wed.

Running the Good Race
Sunday-
We did it! We ran 7 miles yesterday in 1 hr. 14 minutes. That last mile was tough, but I felt good. I had some knee pain in the middle of the run. I think it was because I had squatted alot while gardening in the yard that morning. Squatting is terrible for my knees. They let me know about it during mile 4 and 5. Yeowch!!
But I was able to finish strong. I felt good overall. Another bloody sock, though. Hate those.
Rested today and will do 3 miles on Monday.

Running the Good Race
Saturday-
Ran on Wednesday after work. 5 miles in 48 minutes. I felt good, but my legs were tired.
Ran Friday with my hubby. We did North Mountain. It is a great hill/endurance run. We both needed a jolt to our metabolism and this sort of anaerobic exercise is great.
The endurance run will help us meet our long run goal today: 7 miles.
We'll see if we can do it!
