This past week of training was one where you just check the workouts of the "to do" list each day. For the past 3 years, I have coordinated Vacation Bible School and this past week was "prep week". I pretty much lived at church during the day making sure we had decorations being created, supplies gathered and volunteers assigned to jobs for next week. I love doing this every year but it is a lot of work and leaves little time for anything else.
Here is what the week's running schedule looked like:
Monday - Strength & stretch: check, went to CG (bootcamp) at 5:30 am
Tuesday - Track workout, 10x400s at 5K pace: check, met the girls on the track at 5 am
Wednesday - 5 miles: check, ran in the evening
Thursday - 3 miles + strength: check (sort of), did the strength part (CG, 5:15) but no running
Friday - 3 miles at pace: check, ran before CG at 5am
Saturday - 12 miles: check
So I missed one scheduled run and those that I did do were just checked off the list. Saturday's 12 mile run was tough. At our first water stop, 2 miles in, we all commented on how we felt like we had just stepped out of the shower. We were drenched with sweat already. It was very muggy. The last 2 miles, my right hamstring was not happy with me. I really need to get the foam roller out & focus on my muscles. Like some many things that I should do for myself, I keep saying as soon as things slow down I'll take some time. Hmmm, I wonder when that will happen....
