We hit up a greasy spoon somewhere in Falls Church today after our trail run. He ran 4 miles and I ran/walked 4 miles...about half running, half walking. I got lost again on that trail for the third time which makes me even more convinced the trails may not be for me! To make up for my poor performance this morning, I ran 3 miles tonight against John's advice. My stupid foot still feels weak and hurts at times but I should be good to start a week of real training tomorrow.
For the first time in almost 3 years I will be commuting to an office in the city I live in (well, DC if you want to get technical) starting tomorrow. I couldn't be more excited about going to work, coming home to my own apartment, making dinner and going for a run...every night. Now to just get back in shape so the running doesn't feel like such a struggle.
Weekly mileage summary
Monday: 2
Tuesday: 2 am, 2 pm
Wednesday: 2
Thursday: 0
Friday: 0 (and I probably should deduct miles for over-indulging in wine)
Saturday:0
Sunday: 2 am, 3 pm
Ugh, that's depressing just looking at those low numbers. It would be even more depressing if I put times next to them. Hopefully next week will be a better running week!
Update: I'm watching Forrest Gump and think he was the original American ultramarathoner (also an Alabamian like my ultra buddy Woody!). Just putting that out there.
Maybe not super high numbers, but I'm impressed with all your 2-a-days! That's more commitment than I can ever manage!
ReplyDeleteAnd I get lost on the trails every time I go on them. I also fall. But it's worth it!
