I was less than faithful to my training plan this week. We were up to the lake house until the middle of the week and after getting my second 20 miler in, I was just not feeling very motivated.
Monday - Cross Training
I took a rest day after running 20 on Sunday. We went out on the boat and generally relaxed.
Tuesday - 5 miles
I was really tired for some reason, so I finished a book rather than going for a run. I also did a little stand up paddle boarding in the afternoon.
I'm not sorry.
Wednesday - 6 miles
We were on the road home most of the day, and a run just didn't happen. The dogs were pretty excited to come home from the place we board them. Then they promptly passed out.
Thursday - 5 miles
I decided since I had missed a couple of runs that I would turn this run into a bit of a tempo run. It felt pretty good and I managed an 8:43 minute mile. I also did 30 minutes of yoga when I got home.
5.03 miles @ 9:32 pace
Friday - Rest day
Oh you know I have those down!
Saturday - 6 miles
The humidity was back full-force for my morning run with the Rivertown Runners. This whole run was just blah. One of the people I usually run with wasn't feeling it either, and we took the shorter way back to our cars. It was just one of those days.
5.28 miles @ 9:57 pace
Sunday - 12 miles
The humidity was a little better for this run, and I generally felt pretty good.
12.01 miles @ 11:07 pace
Weekly Mileage - 22.32
I don't feel too badly about this week of training. Yes, my mileage was a little lower than it was supposed to be, but it was a good mental break. This training plan is a long one, and I think I needed a little extra step back.
I have one more big week of running before I start tapering!
