Hey Kids!
I added an about me section to my blog too!
So this week was “complicated” in regards to training. I was scheduled to run Tues, Wed, Thus and saturday: 3/4/3 & 9 miles for week four of training. Well Tuesday was shot because I took 97 people to a hockey game;-) My fellow music teachers and I put together a group of 50+ 7th-12 grade students and performed at the Prudential Center in Newark before a NJ Devils game! The kids sounded great, everyone worked together and a good time was had by all:-) I did not get home until just before midnight so needless to say, no running on tuesday. My Wednesday run also got bumped because of lack of sleep and a Dr. appointment.
So, I ran 4 miles on thursday, which felt great because it was about 35′ an no wind. Yesterday I ran 3 miles, it was awful. It was too cold, very windy and I felt terrible. I was hungry and light headed by mile 3 and it was just no good. Yesterdays 3 mile run felt harder than some 8+ miles I have ran. But after training for a couple of races and reading Hal’s book I have learned to mentally discipline myself enough to focus on the long term. Some runs will feel great, some will not. Miles and times mean nothing, consistency is key! Listen to your body and do not risk injury. This is what is important. Given today’s flakes I will be pushing my long 9 mile run off until tomorrow. Even though I will be 3 miles short of the program it was a good week and missing a few runs here and there is no big deal. Be safe and try not to yell at anyone who tells you to “Enjoy the Snow”
