Week Four

Well, week four wasn't very nice to me!!

Monday I went out for a 3 miler and ran extremely well. Beat my previous best 3 mile mark once again. It set the tone for me thinking the rest of the week was going to be awsome. Not so!

Tuesday I went out for my 4 mile run and struggled. I did not expect it to be so hot and humid. It really drained my energy and I didn't run so good. But I pushed through it.

Thursday was a little better. I ran 3 miles. It was much cooler because of some storms what went through the area. I'm still building and trying to get into shape so i'm not quite there yet. I was ok with it knowing I had put in 7 miles between Monday and Tuesday.

Saturday morning was my long run. And right now that's only 5 miles. I went out with a long sleeve shirt on around 8am not thinking it would be so hot and humid so early. I did pretty good for the first 3 miles but struggled on my last two. I made it through but my time was very slow. But that's ok! I'm trying to practice running slower on LSD because I know as I get to the 10 milers and up I am going to need that experience.

I put in 15 miles for the week. Week 5 is essentially the same schedule except I run a 6 miler on Saturday morning.

I would like to take a minute to thank someone very special to me. This would be my wife. This woman is my world and she has been going out on her bike with me on my runs, supporting every step I take. I love her with all my heart and I know I could not do this (and a lot of other things) without her. Thank you Sarah, I love you!

731 miles to go!
