Week 7 (August 25 - August 31): Making up the mileage - 1st missed long-run

The intensity of our Tuesday workouts is starting to increase in now that we are doing interval training where we run a path (this week the "Figure 8" path at Woodward Park), rest and then do it again x 3 total. 

During interval training, I do try to push myself a little faster without sprinting since the distance is shorter.  Pretty much I run as fast as I can maintain a comfortable steady breathing pattern and not feel like throwing up or winded when I finish the interval.  Hmm, yeah I still want to "like" running haha so don't want to overdo it.

This week unfortunately for my training - life is intervening- and I have a wedding to attend to which yes....I could run in lovely San Diego my scheduled 12 mile Saturday run.  And to give myself partial credit I did think about it for one hot minute! 

Alas, my running shoes couldn't fit in my carry-on (on top of the two pairs of heels that I needed to take) so I decided to add in an extra Wednesday run to try and make up some mileage and then cross-train Saturday with dancing!!!! lol yeah well, ya do what you can:)

This week was a lovely week of rest and I enjoyed every minute of it:)  I promise I'll make up for it next week!!
