This week didn't turn out quite like I had planned. For the first time I missed a "scheduled" day of running. And though I always said NO EXCUSES...this could not be helped. Though I did get out to run on Sunday if only 4 miles on a long day run, I had hoped and planned to get out more this week of Thanksgiving. Tuesday, my usual day to run, was simply not possible due to the complications with Grandma's health and mom needing my help with Dad and Grandma. Sometimes other things take priority and though I always try to making running a priority...it just was not possible this time.
I made sure I got out on Wednesday and went 3 miles before I went to Mom's house to help with Thanksgiving preparation. I knew if I waited I wouldn't get out...so I did make it a priority on Wednesday. I found a good 3.2 mile route and took it again today. The 3rd mile is in the park and I like the end of my runs to be in the park.
I signed up for usraodrunning today. I saw it on Facebook a few times and looked into it. I am not quite sure how it works, but I THINK you sign up to run a "race" on your own place and time and then you submit your results. It's the honor system I guess. I used MapMyRun to time my run today. In case they need verification of time I have it. I signed up for the medal and shirt. The Pie Gobbler event for November and the Reindeer Run for December. I hope I did it correctly or I am out $55 for the 2 events. I do like to support causes if I run, so I will have to see if this has any causes to support.
I am going to do the FOLEPI 4 mile run tomorrow it is supposed to be a little warmerso we will see how that goes. Today was sunny 35 degrees with a slight breeze, but over all pretty nice to run.
According to my schedule I am on Week 13 of my training and would be ready to run the Princess Half Marathon this Sunday...I am not quite there yet, but it push came to shove I think I could do it. WOW...13 weeks does make a difference in endurance and confidence!
