This week, I earned a B+. I missed a 4 mile run at the beginning of the week. But I almost made up for it, by going extra distance on Thursday, and today. Plus, the 17 and change that I ran today was my furthest run so far, in 2010. I was pretty pleased with my pace, also– even though I really started tapering off at the end. Another reason that I gave myself such a good grade, even after missing a run, is because it has been unbearably hot. Not just hot for running. It is the kind of heat that it uncomfortable to even be outside in. As a result, I have been sweating like CRAZY. People say “sweating buckets.” I probably could literally fill a small bucket with the amount of sweat that I exuded during the hot runs this week. It is one of those things where, when I’m cooling down (such a relative term) at the end of a run, and start to breathe through my nose, again, I have that same smell in my nose that I get the first time my head comes above water after jumping in a lake. Anyway, today’s weather was much more doable. I went in the evening . It was low 80’s and overcast. Total miles for the week are just under 44. Only 17 weeks to go! Hahahaha
PS, I started breaking in some new sneaks this week. Excited about them.
