It was a real struggle for me to run during Thanksgiving week. But, I managed to get some miles in anyway. Not the mileage that I needed, but I was proud of myself for doing what I did! Tuesday night, it was raining, but I knew I needed to do something to prevent my legs from forgetting how to run. I ran 3 miles by running up and down my street twice. Boring.
I flew to SC for the holiday, and forced myself to get up and out for 3 miles on Friday morning. We had early mornings each day I was there. I was supposed to log 6 on Saturday, but I just couldn't do it! I was awake in time, but I couldn't get myself out the door. It was in the 30s, and I had neglected to bring warm enough gear. I also just wanted to sit, relax, and drink my coffee. So that's what I did!
Sunday, I was back in town, and met some friends for a nice, slow 12 miles. We ran to Thomas Point, and then an abbreviated Bay Ridge loop. Surprisingly, it wasn't really a tough run, even with all of the hills! My total mileage for the week was 18...lower than it should be, but I think I will survive.
This weekend is another "cornerstone" with 10 and 20 on the schedule. I popped out 3 today on the dreadmill at the office, and will hopefully have rested legs in time for the 30 mile weekend. I believe we will be running 10 miles in the rain on the BWI trail Saturday. It's back to the good ole B&A Trail on Sunday for 20 miles. Sunday is supposed to be sunny, but cold. I'll take cold over rain for 20 miles any day!
