Day 3

Sorry this post is a little late but we ran a little later last night and had a busy day today.

Okay, day 3...we got it done. I am telling you I am not an afternoon runner. I find my times to be better on morning runs.

We went to our health club on Thursday and did some strength training and boy, I really do want to get this in twice a week at least. I was a little sore on Friday because of it but not too bad. Our run on Friday was not bad, the weather was finally nice and sunny which was refreshing!! We kept a pace of 10:10 (we have been pretty consistant with pace this week). I really want to break 10 minutes but I think it will come with time and I am not going to push it and end up injuried.

Today we went on a nice bike ride for our off/ct day which I really enjoyed too. I would like to do this on CT days along with going to the gym.

Tomorrow is our long run day but it will be a little strange because we are signed up to run a 5k race tomorrow so this is our plan...run the 1.5 miles to the race start, run the race and then keep going when it is over to finish 8 miles. I know it won't be a non stop 8 miles but the miles will be there. With this our week will be done and we will have ran 20 miles this week (per training schedule).

I will let you know how the 5k goes tomorrow! Until then...keep running toward your goal
