My weekday runs were typical treadmill runs. It occurs to me that it's a good sign that I don't have much to say one way or the other about these runs. That tells me that it's now a routine to run during the week. It's just what I do now; I don't sit around thinking up excuses not to run, nor do I need to find new ways to motivate me to put in the miles.
Of course all this running comes at the expense of TV time. By the time I get done with running, dinner, and playing with the dogs, I don't have any time for watching the tube. I'd say it's a worthy tradeoff though. I don't miss it one bit. Of course football season will be different, but if I get my run in before noon I can have it all!
I ran my 13.1 mile long run in PSJ with my sister and her husband. It was our first half marathon, so we were all excited about it. We hit the road on Saturday afternoon, which made for a tough start. The heat was tough on everyone and we all ran slower than usual, finishing in a tick over 3 hours. Despite the difficult running conditions, though, I enjoyed running with them very much and am looking forward to our next long run together.
I'm looking forward to a rest week ahead and the halfway point of marathon training. Only 10 more weeks to go until the big day!
Thanks for reading!
