Hi there!
Last week was a cutback week as far as workouts are concerned. I was thinking about running a half marathon this weekend, but I’ve decided against that as I want to give my body some time to recover from the ten mile race before adding too much quality work or racing back into the mix. I’m still planning to do a half marathon at the beginning of January and now hoping to add one in at the beginning of February as well.
Here is what training looked like this week:
Monday – 6.0 mile run (8:40 pace)
- Temperature: 62℉
- Humidity: 27%
- I got in a few hilly driveway miles on Monday afternoon.
Tuesday – 8.0 mile run (8:20 pace)
- Temperature: 60℉
- Humidity: 67%
- I got in a few more hilly driveway miles on Tuesday afternoon.
Wednesday – 9.5 mile run (8:15 pace)
- Temperature: 53℉
- Humidity: 95%
- Wednesday morning I got out early (for me!) to run at the mall before meeting friends for coffee.
Thursday – 8.5 mile run (8:05 pace)
- Temperature: 59℉
- Humidity: 76%
- I got in more hilly miles on Thursday by running from my in-laws house! The first mile is a 190 foot climb. Heavens!
Friday – 8.5 mile run (8:10 pace)
- Temperature: 56℉
- Humidity: 95%
- Friday was basically the same route as Thursday. I think the only different was that it was raining! Nothing too exciting to note in the training log this week, unfortunately.
Saturday – 8.0 mile run (8:20 pace)
- Temperature: 50℉
- Humidity: 95%
- Same song, slightly different verse on Saturday before heading back home from the Thanksgiving holiday.
Sunday – 9.3 mile run (8:35 pace)
- Temperature: 53℉
- Humidity: 88%
- I ran with Rebecca on Sunday. Yay! While neither of us had a super long run, we definitely enjoyed the miles that we got together.
Weekly Total – 57.9 miles (8:20 pace)
