I ran a few times throughout the week, but already I can't remember what days and what my mileage was. It was never much. Maybe 3 times 3 miles.
I walked a little during this run, starting at about mile 7. I would run a mile + .04 then walk .06. I did that 3 times. Why? No reason. I just needed it, and that seemed like a good plan to keep the walking at a minimum. I had to run home (stopped at 8.35 miles) to drink some water and drop off my sweatshirt. After that, I ran 2 full miles, walked .06, then ran most of the way home. I did stop to fix my socks, which seemed to be bunching up weird in one of my shoes.
I am doing my annual half next week. I'm not in racing form. Last year I finished just under 1:55, and I also wasn't in racing form then. This year, I will be slower. I will be surprised if I come in under 2 hours. Just the result of lackadaisical training.
