Weekly Wrap Up - 4/23/17
LIghter week of running, heavier week of everything else. It's all about balance ;-)
- 45.5 miles, 5 runs. At lower mileage levels it's supposedly better to get your mileage goals in single runs (not double days). This was an attempt to hit 50 in 5 days but I was pretty wiped out on Sunday so totally cheaped out on the long run.
- On the subject of being wiped out...I did something foolish that used to work for me: 10 mile run at current tempo pace in the hottest part of the day. It took me a good hour of eating, hydrating, and resting to feel normal again. Long run was supposed to start at 7am the next day but when 6am rolled around I realized there was no way I was getting up and running. Guess I should accept that I'm closer to 40 than 30.
- On the subject of being old, my youngest sister turned 26 this past week. The youngest of us is nearing 30. I have to keep repeating that to let it sink in. There is a b-day present coming once I find time to put it together.
