Tues RUN ~50 mins and 5.2 miles 9:37 m/m
Weds RUN 62 mins and 6.2 miles 10 m/m
Thurs RUN 56 mins and 6.5 miles 8:40 m/m
Guess which one was the group run!
Tuesday was a great run. Instead of running early in the dark I delayed to run over lunch. Lucky me--it snowed!! Big fluffy flakes that fell so quiet and so light, I inhaled a few and they tasted good too. As I was gearing up to go from work, a few peeps commented on what a great time to run. It was! This was supposed to be only a 4 miler but I didn't premeasure my course and I didn't care. I could have run much more in that weather :)
Weds was a run from the house to TGP. The snow hadn't melted yet, and sparkled in the still-rising sun. Sadly it was gone by the end of the day, but not before I had a few moments of "oh this is beautiful" with the bright blue sky. This was supposed to be an 8 miler, but I stayed shorter given Tues and Thurs's longer distances. The overall midweek goal is 18 miles, no need to push beyond that.
Thurs was the group run. It was bitter cold at the start and my legs were tired but still doing OK. LC had a brief scare with an ankle turn (hopefully brief anyway) but otherwise a great run. This was another beautiful run with a bright orange-red sunrise as we finished. The sun came up fast and settled into a blue sky, I'm glad LC pointed it out or I would have missed it.
This weekend has a super long mileage run on Sunday. The training plan says 22+6, but my calendar says 6+29! Say what!? The plan adds up to 46 for the week. Maybe if I did 6+26 then I could say 50! No wait, gotta be 6.1 or 26.1 to hit 50. haha, or I could skip the 0.1 and say I didn't exceed 50 miles yet. haha.
