Week in Review

Well, it was another busy week with lots going on around the house. This week should be a little calmer although we're hoping that the shower will get tiled and the new vanity and top are installed and hopefully the electrition will be back to finish up as well. I'm hoping that we'll be able to have a better running week and get our miles back up. I ended up running only about 30 miles this week and my long run was only 13. I had planned on running two of my 13 mile loops but just couldn't get back out for the second loop. Now, I have to run long next week as that's the last opportunity I'll have to run long before Sunmart. We have Thanksgiving and then the shower and then Sunmart will be here before we know it! I do feel like my training is starting to pay off and I'm running "faster" than I was this past summer. (I suppose the cooler temps really help with that) My biggest concern is the mental aspect of getting in long training runs on my own. Training for Umstead is going to be tougher than I thought. My IPOD really helps but didn't get me there today. I'm hoping that the fact that I ran 10 yesterday contributed to the fatique and discomfort in my legs today. Looks like I'll get out there next Sunday again for another attempt but will take Saturday off so I'll have fresh legs! It's going to be a great week! I'm shooting for a 50 mile week so that's my goal plus a couple of spinning classes to top it off.
