This cat pretty much sums up my overall attitude at the moment:
Running-wise though, I'm feeling pretty good.
Here's what I had on tap for the week:
Monday: 3 miles in 32:48 (11:04 per mile). I don't remember a lot about this run, so it must have been OK
Tuesday: 45 minutes of strength training
Wednesday: Was supposed to run. Didn't. Watched three episodes of Game of Thrones, ate sushi and drank a bottle of wine. Oops. I mean, sushi is carb loading, right? And is anyone else unable to wait for season 4 to come out?
Thursday: 4.21 miles in 48:43 (11:36 per mile). It was a trail run, so I'm pretty stoked about my pace
Friday: 9 miles in 1:49:00 (12:12 per mile). Hot, so hot. I didn't help that I didn't listen to my own training tips and I attempted this run at 3 pm. Shout out to Mr Sharkie for sticking with me and listening to me whine for miles 7.5-9. Oh well, at least I got it over with?
Saturday: 6 miles biking. To and from soldier field. To see Messi and Friends versus the World! Spoiler alert: Messi and Friends kicked butt!
This is seriously the best I could do with my iPhone:

Total mileage: 16.21
Overall outlook: Is it fall yet? 84% humidity and I do NOT get along.
That's all I have for now. How is everyone else's training going? I finally have a race on my schedule in 2 weeks. I can't wait to get back out there!
Only time anyone is allowed to say winter right now is for Game of Thrones- Winter is Coming! Can not wait! Did you read the books too?
ReplyDeleteWhat race are you doing in 2 weeks? I'll be doing the Rock and Roll in 2 weeks.
Training is okay on my end, trying to prevent some injuries from reoccurring.
The humidity is gross to run in, but you can feel kinda bad ass when you finish.
I started to read the books, but definitely became hooked on the show. Are the books worth it? I don't want to spoil the TV show.
ReplyDeleteI'm running Napa to Sonoma next weekend. I would have done RNR Chicago, but had already registered to travel instead.
Happy training!
The books are EPIC! It is nice to be able to read a bunch of them right now without waiting multiple years in between. They add a lot to the show. It will spoil the show for sure, but there is so much material, I have forgotten a bunch of stuff and can't wait to see what I do remember brought to life. Read them at some point for sure!
