So week 7 went well..work week was better as well...however it wasn't until Tuesday night that I realized I actually had to get in 5 runs this week...all progressing toward 26 min non-stop by end of the week....crap...close to the 2 miles for me...for someone else that actually had speed perhaps 5 miles. :)
Monday ran my route in my neighborhood 20 min run/1 walk/9 run..hadn't charged my watch so I wasn't able to see my pace but things went well. Same time etc for Tuesday run as well. Wed finally had my watch and got to see how my pace was on this route with my new watch. I actually did better than the other route...huh..there is way more uphill on this route. Don't get me wrong was very happy but very surprised. Last 5 minutes straight uphill...was so so hard but felt so freakin fabulous once I was done. Friday went about 7:15 and ran the route in the other neighborhood...went just early enough to be out of the creepy areas by dark. It was an overcast day and actually had a few sprinkles in the beginning which felt great. Time increased to 24 min which came in at about 1.3-1.4 miles....Sat 26 min but didn't have my watch....think my distance came in at about 1.7 miles for the non-stop ..just under 2 in total.
Short submission this week...as things just seemed to move along plus I'm tired :) Talked to Shelley this week and she is going to be in town the weekend of my last day of this program (week 8) which is the 28th so she's going to do my end goal for this program of full 30 min run....so I'm happy to have her do it with me....if she can keep up with my wicked speed :)
The good weather we had in June definitely came to an end in week 8....so far not as great of a final week in this program as I'd hoped....changed my routine and don't know if that's what's messing with me...still 3 more runs this week left...fill ya in next week.
