Joy here...I'm really really really hoping that old adage is going to hold true in my case. Really.
I'm supposed to run at least three times a week, with one of those being my long run. But, in fact, I've been lucky to squeeze out two runs a week (including my long run) for the past few weeks. So it's not without trepidation that I realize my 30km running race is only 43 days away. But signed up for it I have, and so quitting at this point is just not an option. So even though I haven't been living up to my ideal training plan of late, I know that I just have to get back out there and do my best. In keeping with this plan, I was out the door today for an easy peasy run in the clear, bright, crisp winter weather, and I enjoyed myself. Instead of thinking about that 30km race that's looming large in the distance, I just thought about today's run and today's run only.
And here are todays run stats:
Ran for a total of 53:42:01 for 8.61kms with an average pace of 6:14min/km.
So that was a short run; that was a slow run; but that was also my second run of the week, so when (not if) I get out the door tomorrow for my long run, then I will have completed a 3 run week for the first time in quite a while. And that's my little training triumph for now.
Over and out,
Joy
