July Running

[surgtech1956]

I'm still plugging along here, I did W5D2 this morning. It was nice about 63 degrees. Just ordered some new running clothes - Sierra Tradinig Post has a sale(yes, another sale). So impressed by all you girls!!!

Yay for running!

Finished my 5 day stretch (yes, I know most people work 5 days in a row, but as a NP my days/shifts are 10 hours). Did get up yesterday and run 4 miles with 8 X1 min "fartleks" or at least my version of "speed work". Spent the rest of the day with appts or meetings (yes, meeting at work on day off...that sucks!).

Had to get up before 5 to send honey off to airport so then I was planning on doing hill repeats....but I find my self sitting on the couch watching the Olympics. I just can't go run. I think it is because the rest of my day is ALSO full of appts or errands and I just want some down-time. I don't want to do ANYTHING this AM. (Sorry if I sound whiney!)

2 weeks out from the Peak. So I HAVE to spend time on treadmill and do incline work this afternoon/evening.

(Hope I did not offend anyone, I know many work longer than 8 hour days and/or more hours than I do. Just a 5 day stretch is LONG for me!)

Half marathon next weekend..Heading into it, i'm feeling confident about shaving the few minutes off the last one. I've been working on my running technique, food prep & focus....Weeeeeehar!

I'm also pondering making 10k events my pet one...i'd love to be able to shave a minute or so off in order to be 10th in my age group...Can I dooo it...keep watching.

50min for the last 10km event, next one in September..aim is 49min.

Starting W6D1 tomorrow. Saw my orthopedic surgeon(I had a bad ankle fracture - tri-meollar with dislocation 12/10) today, she is excited with my running - good news I don't have to see her again(except at work).

I want to run. I really do. I have zero motivation. Every day it's been over 110F for going on a week now (and it's even in the 90's at 5 am). Ugh... I need to find my mojo. FAST! Before I lose all my running fitness (and I even have a treadmill in my living room, but I'm STILL not motivated).

I hear ya there. That's way too hot. Even here, the evenings are cooling off - but it's due to storms rolling in, so I'm dealing with more humidity than I'm used to.

Did about 5-6 on the trail Tuesday and a speed workout yesterday. Felt harder than normal - don't know how I'm going to do 26.2.

I can't wait until my feet look normal again, too (which will be awhile, judging by the purple under my nail polish).
