After today, I think this is the most I have ever run 5 days in a row. I used to not run on Fridays because I ran at night. I won't get in 6 days this week, though. I will be on the water at Lake Powell all day tomorrow and Sunday. I'll get plenty of cross-training exercise up there!
The 8 miles was fine. It took about 3 miles to feel warmed up, and the last 5 went much better. I need to get up a little earlier though so I won't be late to work. Total time was 1:19:48, a 9:58 average. I lost about 5 minutes waiting at traffic lights (turned off the Garmin, though).
Weekend plan: LOTS of water-skiing (not sure how that would translate into cross-training miles!), at least one .5-mile open water swim, and maybe some climbing around on the rocks! So I will still get plenty of exercise. We're driving to Flagstaff tonight and getting up at 4 am to leave for Page tomorrow. Sorry, I am NOT getting up at 3:00 to run!
Happy Father's Day weekend to all you dads! |
