Hi everyone! I know it has been five days since my last post! I have been busy with Kay's basketball and track. Track is coming to an end and this week was her conference meet. Kay has been running sprints for varsity but she actually went to conferences for the long jump. She just attempted it for the first time two weeks ago and found out that she is the second best jumper for Maple Grove:) Who knew? She has sectionals next week...Go Kay! I have been able to run every single day since Saturday. Here is what my training week looked like...
Sunday...4 miles, slow and painful! The humidity and heat was harsh! I ended up taking a few walk breaks.
Monday...6 miles, slower than race pace but still painful:)
Tuesday...6 miles, close to race pace but doable.
Wednesday...6miles, slower and steady. I was ready to be done after this one!
Thursday...6 miles, hills, close to race pace. Hot, painful and yuck...this one hurt:)
Friday....off, rest day!
Saturday....a longer run:)
I have no race scheduled for this weekend but I am driving to St. Cloud to run with my SCRRs running group. I will most likely also try to make it to part of the Sartell Apple Duathlon. There are several SCRRs competing in this event! Good luck to Nikki, John, Shannon, Amy, Pam and I am guessing there are several others:)
Next weekend I do have a half marathon on the books. I am running in the Team Ortho Minneapolis Half Marathon! This is the last race that I will compete in before my official marathon training begins. I love competing so much that I am going to try to fill my weekends with races that fit into my marathon training schedule:)
I am offically getting kicked off of the computer by my hubby:) Happy running, biking, swimming and lifting! Cheers to all of you!
Good luck to Heather and Tony who are running the Madison Marathon and also to Anne who is running her first half marathon in Canada!
