week 2, day 5, 6, & 7.
Thursday evening we headed down to Lake LBJ in Marble Falls for an extra long weekend. I was committed to continue my training no matter what! Overall I am happy with what I accomplished:) The terrain was extreme - hills, hills and more hills!! I didn't have internet, thus couldn't track my exact mileage (until I returned home). I tried to time myself accordingly - 10 mins = 1 mile to be on the safe side. It sorta worked!
Friday's goal: run 3 miles
I left the house @ 10am (a little too late in this heat!) and ran with Xia. Heat + hills + a baby = HARD! I ran for 34 mins and only ran 2.79 miles! Not very proud of my time or that I didn't reach my mileage goal, but proud I didn't call the run off due to the heat. Go me!
Xia was a little fussy on this run. My only saving grace was all the deer we saw on our run. She would stop fussing when she'd see a deer!
Friday's accomplishment: 2.79 miles - 12:11 pace / 34:00 total
Saturday's goal: run 5 miles
Saturday I left the house only 15 minutes later than Friday. Staying up late doesn't help with the whole waking up early aspect that training requires. It started off nice with a breeze, but ended brutally! I knew I wasn't going to meet my 5 mile goal when I had to stop running after only 46:50. The good news is my pace was faster (probably because I didn't have Xia with me). I ran a total of 4.22 miles in 46:50. When I got back to the house, I was soaked with sweat. I have never been that sweaty before. Never! I ran with about 20 oz of Gatorade - glad I did. Again, glad I got out there, but still frustrated that I didn't meet my goals and my pace was slower than usual (I blame it on the hills!).
Saturday's accomplishments: 4.22 mile run - 11:05 pace / 46:50 total
Sunday's goal: run 4 miles
Sunday's accomplishment: nada! took the day off!
