Saturday was another long run day. We did not motivate until about 3 in the afternoon and ate very little throughout the day...so much for the lessons learned last week! I also only had a two work out week so I am hoping that I have learned!
We ran the Riverbank Trail by our home, down to VRC, and back. The loop itself was so beautiful along the river with lots of wildlife. There were a ton of people out. It is amazing what a little sun does in this town! The weather was perfect. We did our 5 min. warm up, rotated between 3 min. runs and 2 min. walks, and finished with a 6 min cool down. My legs were not at all happy with me and I felt like crap the entire run. This was a good reminder that not all runs can be good ones. Sure did not help at the time, though, especially when I felt like dieing the entire time!
Today I sucked it up and got on the treadmill. Another 55 minute session down. Same drill: 5 min warm up, 3 min run/2 min walk intervals (9 to be exact), and a 5 min cool down. I felt sluggish but I am glad that I did it. Hopefully it will make this weekend's long run more enjoyable...a girl can hope, right?! 3.09 done!
41.29 miles down and so much more to go!
