This week has been a tough one. I did what I could. Lots of walking with friends, which is the best. Yesterday I did run/walk intervals with friends. I struggled with it, but it got done. I felt great about it for the rest of the day, and my legs were pleasantly sore.
Today, I was determined to do a longer run. I have time before the half, but the sooner I start upping my mileage the better. The first three miles were rough. My feet cramped, and my shins burned. It got better after that. I got into a groove and only walked when is was necessary to avoid ice or cars. I decided I would run for 1.5 hours instead of a specific distance. I covered 6.8 miles in that time. Slower than I used to be, but I'm just happy I did anything. Starting over is never easy, but I'm staying positive. It's the longest run I've done in a while.
Goals for this week:
- at least 2 shorter runs (or speed work on the treadmill)
- 8 - 10 miles this weekend
- exercise 6 days
- drink enough water!!
