A Summary
July 25, 2010
Well, I sure dropped the ball on blogging. I blame it on these heat waves we’ve been having here in the east. My penultimate week of training was blown apart because of the crazy heat, then I ran the following week, but it was brutal. Basically, every training run was rough. This heat and humidity - high 90s and into the 100s - kicked my ass.
The race itself actually went better than I imagined it would in such heat and humidity. I was happy with my performance. Loved all the water stops, an the misting stations were the best. I ran with my friends, and that was the best.
I took a week off from running, having had the plan to start training for a 10K the week of August 9, for a 5 mile run on October 31. I learned this weekend that there is a real honest to goodness 10K happening in Brooklyn in October, 11 weeks from now. So, I start the 10K training tomorrow. This training schedule is quite different from the 4 mile schedule, and I’m excited to go through it. I will continue to blog to the best of my abilities.
Next run: Monday, 2 miles
Onward!
