54F & cloudy. Short & sweet w/ club & SnoFlake. I was up way past my bedtime last night (dinner at friends') and was happy to keep it short and slow (run/walk) this morning with SnoFlake. I need a nap! Our club had very few runners today. SF is too young to join but ran w/ me as a guest, and one other woman, who was getting back to running after a 3 week absence joined us. SF is doing really well. We walk a lot, but I think that it's better for her than flash-in-the-pan runs. I am very lucky; she is such a pleasure to be with, and we have a great time. I'll do my long run tomorrow, and unless something goes awry I will go over 60 miles for my Mon-Sun week. :D Speaking of 60 miles, that looks like it will be the way of things for a while. I finalized my running schedule with Coach Sean this week. I am really pleased with the schedule. With all the workouts to choose from, it is very nice to have someone else say which ones on which weeks and not worry that I'm missing something. The basic structure is ~60 mile weeks, some long runs w/ MP running (some without), and alternating weeks of hill repeats and a tempo run (2 quality workouts) with various intervals (just one quality workout). I get to make the choice of days for each workout, so there is plenty of flexibility for this stubborn old gal.
Since I'm also running shorter run/walk workouts with SnoFlake, my mileage may look a lot higher some weeks, but I'm keeping careful records so I make sure I get my fill of solo running - my SnoFlake workouts are just frosting on the great running cake of life. :)
