RUN: 5 miles in 50 mins, 1 mile run then 1 minute walk, repeated
I thought for sure I'd be too sore and/or tired today for anything, so before yesterday's SHITR I set a goal of doing something for 1 hr, be it walking, running, or combination of those. But to my surprise I loosened up, shook off a few sore spots, and actually wanted to run today.
So after prepping lunches for the week (in my PJ's haha) and before a meeting in C-field I got 5 miles in on the new Monarch trail. The wind was still stiff and cold, and just my luck in my face for the outbound trip. My ear ached, my face burned, and my lips were chapping. But as happened yesterday, I was enjoying it.
The way back was much better!
Oh and I went to REI to buy a headlamp.
I feel great after this week, the highest in my progression so far. The training plan would say I'm 10 miles behind and should be at 46 mpw, but this is just right for me.
Now I just have to decide if I want to run long or rest next weekend. A tempting run is planned, but I need the rest.
