Workouts this week:
Tuesday – 6 x 400 (400 RI)
Done.
Thursday – 2 miles easy, 3 miles @ short tempo, 1 mile easy
Done. Ran these in my new running shoes and new shorts. No pain with the shoes. As for the shorts, a little tight around the waist but maybe I was just feeling bloated/fat that day? I hope so. I will wear them for another run and then decide if I will keep or return them.
Saturday – 8 miles at HMP, 10 minutes walking
I ran 6.34 miles which includes the 10 minutes of walking. I was just not feeling it. It had been a long and tough week at work. My students were misbehaving galore!!! I was supposed to drive to Iowa for a half marathon yesterday but decided not to go. Instead, I slept in both yesterday AND today and it feels really good.
Total miles ran this week is 15.34.
Good job with the training variety! What new shoes did you get?Sometimes your body just needs a little rest. I'm sure almost every runner is scared they will lose their gains if they rest, even though it takes at least a week to lost maybe 2% or so. Heck, I freak if I am short a mile.Enjoy your day!
I go the Mizuno Wave Elixir.
