It's a good thing we only had 4 miles to do this week according the schedule. We all ended up doing our own thing running it when we had the time. Originally I was going to run with J.W. this morning, but I knew I wouldn't be in any kind of shape to wake-up early and beat the heat. I am still not feeling a 100% and had a hard time getting back into running, even on the treadmill. I struggled with this one and did a lot of running fast and walking intervals...not set to any kind of pattern, just what I felt like. It was hard. I am very nervous about what is to come. 10.5 miles this Saturday. OMG! I will be tracking down a treadmill in Orlando to do it.
Anything I'd do different? Yes, I should've started this run earlier in the day. And, I should've eaten before heading to the gym. It was too late in the day to run on an empty stomach.
Mid-week runs - Unfortunately my mid-week runs didn't happen. Ugh! Between traveling to Vegas, getting a nasty head cold, and having my body clock all messed up adjusting to the time difference, it was a bad scene this week. I did walk about 5 miles on Friday, but that does not even come close to missing the 2 mid-week runs completely.
