Re: 1/2 Marathon Trainers, Week of October 21st
jeep - sorry to hear that you had to sit out the race, but I think it was probably the right decision. I hope the ankle is feeling better soon, so you can get back out there again.
Peg - how was the bridge?
I ran 5 miles today. Oh, let me say that again. I ran 5 miles today. Count 'em. Five! Oh my! I have rolled that over and over again in my brain thinking how could it even be possible. I know that's not a lot for most of you, but it was big, huge deal for me. I couldn't finish the last two intervals on W1D1 of the C25K back in July. I begged for mercy at the end of every running interval during Week 3. I argued with the podcast every time it said, "Ready?" during Week 5. And now here I am running 5 miles. Unbelievable!
Normally Sunday is a rest day for me, but I had to juggle my schedule for this run. So, now the big question is whether or not to alter my Monday routine. I do strength training on Monday and Wednesday, so do I stick with that for tomorrow. Should I crank down the weight a little on the lower body machines or just do everything as usual. My legs feel fine right now, though they were pretty tired after I got back from my run.
I'm so looking forward to the forecast 50 degree morning this week. Happy running everyone!!

When's your race??
Yeah it was a tough decision but it was the right one.
