I took a couple of well deserved days off. I have to admit I'm a bit stressed out right now, but things will get better once I get used to the new schedule of running, working, and going to school, then of course my most important job of keeping the house and family taken care of!
Today, I ran a 2 mile wmup, with a 3 mile race pace, then a one mile cooldown. Here are my times...
Miles one and two: 8:20 and 8:17.
Miles three, four, and five: 7:58, 7:40, 7:09.
Mile 6: 8:22.
Good workout! Shelley is over with Austin, as well as T! Shelley, Austin, B and C, and I went to the playground today! It was a TON of fun but very cold. It's been a fun weekend so far! Tomorrow, I'll get up early and get 9 miles in. I'm not sure if I'll run around the lake a few times or go another route. I think I'll decide that at the last minute.
The race is coming up very quick. I can't believe it's already almost September. One more month of consistent training and I'll see what my hard work has done for my race performance. I may not run a lot after the race is over. I'm thinking about just trying to get out the door 4-5 days a week and doing short runs all but one of those runs. Sunday will probably always be my long run day. I'm very excited for the race, but really need to focus on school right now.
Thought for the day: Stress is just a nasty six-letter word!
