Sweet almighty, was it HOT this week. A 7-day heatwave to be exact (which hasn't happened since 2002!). Friday it was so bad, the AC unit couldn't keep up. All I wanted to do was lay very very still. Yes, I know its summer. Yes, I know some places 90 degrees is NOT a heatwave, but I will complain -again and most likely all summer- if I want to! Due to some schedule changes, I did all my runs outside and they were miserable. The only that got me through was knowing it would make me a better acclimated runner. Who knows when I'll need to run on the surface of the sun, right?
The training schedule called for back to back runs this weekend with a 3M and an 11M. I knew I had the Queens 10k, so I had to do my miles before the race- but transportation to there that early was going to be tricky. Then, I ran into friends and decided brunch was more important and fun. And now, I'm being lazy. For the record, I don't think I've ever not gotten the miles in for the week. Walked the last few miles because I had to get them in? Definitely. Broken them up? Sure. Not even bother? A couple of times, I think. But just not finish? Totally not like me.
I've decided that I'll just add the miles to next week and it'll all be ok. I'd like to get the full 11miler in for the mental goodwill. We'll see how it goes.
How do you feel about not doing all the miles on your long run?
Brunch is always more important! And so much fun! You'll get them in next week and it'll be good.
ReplyDeleteEspecially when it's great company! ;) So glad I ran into yall! Thanks for the vote of confidence!
DeleteYou have 39 days until the race. Plenty of time ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove that you're always so positive! I might need it when we get closer :)
DeleteI totally didn't get in all of my planned miles for this week, either. The heat/humidity has really been killing me, and the last few days have been BRUTAL! I'm constantly rearranging my training plan/mileage, and I haven't had a problem yet, so I think we'll both be just fine! Best of luck on the rest of your training -- maybe I'll see you at Dumbo! Can't believe it's getting so close! :-D
ReplyDeleteTotally! I'm sure we're just over stressing for nothing :) YaY! We should definitely try to meetup for Dumbo!
DeleteThe eat and humidity are totally wearing me down! I'm so hoping that pushing through it will make me a better runner in the end. Can't wait until fall...
ReplyDeleteTell me about it! That's a big thing I keep telling myself. Fall/ Winter races are going to be cake!
DeleteUgh, I am feeling you on the heat and humidity. LOL - run on the surface of the sun! You've so got time before Dumbo!! (Because that means I have time to - ha!)
ReplyDeletehaha! We got this!
DeleteIt's even been really humid here in the desert and I just can not deal. We've had a pretty rainy monsoon and I don't know how people deal with this kind of humidity. I'll take 115 temps instead.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you. I just can't seem to escape the humidity wherever I go!
