Very proud of myself this week for coming back early from a San Francisco wedding weekend to complete my long run for the week on Sunday. I did it! 14 miles basically from my house - out 7 miles and then back - done.
I know I'll run once I get out the door but its the getting out the door that is hard lol. So my strategy (which has been working yay) for making it to the early 6 am long runs is laying out all the gear I need the night before:
- 1 super cute running outfit - check
- 1 good pair of quality running socks that keep my feet from blistering - check
- Body glide stick to prevent chafing - check
- 1 pair running shoes - check
- 1 to 5 energy gels depending on distance to be run - check
- Sunscreen - check
- Hat/visor - check
- Water bottle - check
- Long-sleeve technical shirt in case it's cold - check
Tuesday
Did some interval training at the track at Clovis North high school today and had our second timed mile of the training. I improved by over 30 seconds yay! Felt just as tired with heart pounding rapidly in my chest at the end but the training must be working. Thanks Coach John!
Friday
Haven't been able to make the Thursday Fun Runs for a couple weeks now so headed out on my own before work to try to make up some mileage. Definitely felt energized the rest of the day!
Saturday
Bummed to be missing another training "field trip" but Good luck to all my marathon buddies that are running Smokey Bear this weekend at Bass Lake! Wish I could have been there!
