This week I finished off with actually getting out and running three times. There was even some resemblance of a schedule to my runs. It wasn't really all that structured, but it was somewhat like it used to be back at the height of my training last year. I put a two miler in on Monday morning 5:00 am, and again on Thursday morning at 5:00 am. I would have gotten out on Wednesday morning but it was raining and I am not quite back to that level yet..... although I will be soon. I then wrapped up the week today with a 3.2 miler. This is the longest I have run since my injury 7 months ago.
Today's 3.2 mile run started with the first mile run with my daughter, Payton. We ran just over a one mile circle and I dropped her back off at home as I continued one more circle and then a short out and back distance to finish off my run. It was a really good run, and I am happy for the new distance. Each week I hope to progress a little bit more and push that distance a little bit more.
I am really enjoying my MyTach GPS Sport Trainer. It really helps me worry less about where I will run and where the mile markers are etc. I can just get out and go and it takes care of how fast I am running and how far. It lets me enjoy the run more and plan less. I will still have an overall plan, but the mapping out the courses will not be as important to me.
Till next time.....
