Saturday, Jen came into town and joined the little running group. I am still recovering (and hoping for no set-back or recurrence) and Jen is a fairly new runner so we took it easy. Most the group ran 4.5 but we set out to do 3, then upped it to 3.5, then added on a quarter for 3.75. It was slow, but it was supposed to be :-). Jen brought her dog Cliff and he did really, really well. At a few points, he and Cosmo were shoulder-to-shoulder, running (or rather walking briskly) right together. So cute.
I did okay but really started to feel the distance at about 3 miles. Just tired and I probably would have walked if Jen hadn't been with me. She did really, really well. I think she is in perfect positioning for her first race next month. She already has the distance down.
This week the plan is:
Monday - the hills....3.2 miles
Tuesday - cycle
Wednesday - 3 miles
Thursday - cycle
Friday - 2 miles
Saturday - 4 to 4.5 miles
Sunday, blessed Sunday - OFF!
My plan is to add that Friday 2 mile run to get used to a 4th day running and to gradually up it to 3 or more when I feel good.
Running is a big question mark that’s there each and every day. It asks you, ‘Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?' - Peter Maher, Irish-Canadian Olympian
