Missed workouts – None! Monday’s was 0.3 of a mile short because of a time restriction and I’m fighting off a head cold so Friday’s run was done on Saturday. I do have to say if it wasn’t for the fact that I had committed to posting here after every run, I don’t know that I would have gotten out there Saturday. So Thank you guys so much for letting me lean on you!!
Things I learned this week –
Even if it’s 70 and gorgeous you still need sunscreen. My face looks like a tomato from Saturday’s run! Cool weather doesn’t equal no sun.
Other Updates that seem important
Coach Billy (
@DopeyBadger ) updated my plan for me.. The VA 10 miler is still there!!! Also you guys do know he does all of this for free right?!! He’s literally the best.
I’ve caught myself telling myself that I don’t really want to run a half marathon. This a lie. I know it’s a lie because I still want to run a full marathon… LOL. But I think that I’m starting to grasp the distance a little more and TBH, I’m a little spooked. That said- I think I still need a little accountability so I’m going to update this journal after every run again. At least for this week and probably a next week too. Just to help fight off these little lies I’m trying to tell myself.
Days till next race – 35 days until the VA 10 Miler!!!
