Interesting week it has been, and it's not over yet. Wednesday, ran 4.04 miles easy in 35:34 for a pace of 8:48. Things became a little stressed because of the time element involved in getting everyone up, but everyone got off to school ok. Stayed up kind of late after practicing at church for Sunday night and set my alarm for earlier on Thursday. Was supposed to be the same as Wednesday's run. Well, woke up with difficulty and decided that this wouldn't work. Re-set my alarm for an hour and a half later and went back to sleep.
So, this morning woke up early (still difficult, but decided who cares anyway) and walked the dog. Cut the walk short for my run, but as I started it was slightly sprinkling. Thought that it might not be too bad, but decided to run the neighborhood so that if I wanted to I could easily cut it short and go home. After one lap around (out of a potential 2) it was raining harder and I was ready to quit. Ended up running 2.16 miles in 18:52 for a pace of 8:43.
Soooooooo ..... tomorrow's 8 mile run will turn into at least a 9 mile run. Depending on how it feels near the end, could turn into 10? I'll have to be sure to get started early enough (but not so early to be a total idiot). Tomorrow is quite the busy day. This next 5K is getting close, so I've got to keep myself up on this training. Hey, this is my 16th consecutive week of running! That's a good thing; I just keep plodding on ......
