I just realized that I didn’t post my runs last week, because of the epic stomach bug. So this will be a quick two week review.
For the week of Jan 12-18, I only got to run twice. Sunday:
And Wednesday:
Both were good runs. On the Wednesday run, I tested out a new jacket. It is a Gap Fit jacket that was on sale for $25. It is like wearing a pretty trash bag (which is good). It was windproof and by the two mile mark, condensation was forming under the sleeves and I tied it around my waist. Since it was so thin, it tied very easy and didn’t slip off. This Gap jacket was a solid $25 investment.
I was supposed to run 20 miles on Saturday, but the epic stomach bug was in full swing.
Jan 19-26
Monday, I was still too sick to run.
Thursday, Evan was able to return to school and I felt a lot better, so I had a test run. I took it really, really slow because I was still weak. It was also really cold:
Everything was back to normal on Saturday and the weather was PERFECT! I was only supposed to run 12, but I decided to run a little more and complete 13.1. My heart rate monitor quit working. Ugh. I have to call Garmin on Monday and get a replacement.
So, now we are all caught up! I need to get back to doing yoga. I’m a little stiff and need to make sure my hips stay relaxed. Next week, I’m going to do better (ha ha, I always say that). Lisa and I are running another marathon Feb 8, so I suppose I am on my taper. I have gotten so relaxed in my training, that I really don’t know what I am doing anymore and I think I like it.
Running for “fun” is so much better than running for “time” isn’t it?
