1. I actually completed all three weekday runs as planned. I did speedwork on Tuesday with Big River. It was a ladder of 1200 at 5k pace (6:12), 1000 at 2 mile pace (5:04), 800 at 2 mile pace(4:04), 400 at 1 mile pace(1:47), and 200 all out. I hit fairly close to the times I wanted. I was a tad slow on the 1000 and 800 but I was really tired and did not sleep well that day. Oh, and I put my running first this day because I skipped a bridal shower, yes it was on a Tuesday, I made the decision that in order to successfully complete the marathon, I will need to make running a priority for the next 18 weeks.
2. Wednesday was an easy recovery run of 4 miles, I left the watch at home so I could just take my time. The weather is awesome here this week so I have even turned off the air and opened the windows.
3. Today I met with my running group. I was pushing the double stroller with 60 pounds of kids and the weight of the stroller, I am struggling with that. It is also pulling to the right so I have to push the handlebar a little harder with my right arm to keep it straight. I found the instruction manual and it has how to adjust it so it will track right. I just have to do it when I am not about to run. I always forget until I am on my way. I took a few walk breaks up the hills but we still covered 5 miles in like 56-57 minutes.
On tap for this weekend an 8 miler. Also looking forward to our neighborhood putting on a great party! It is Pridefest weekend so for all those getting out to their local parades and celebrations,
HAPPPY PRIDEFEST!
Have a good weekend! Good luck to all the racers, especially all those running in Seattle Rock 'n' Roll!
