Saturday's training I felt went well! I'm still working on my timing and speed but getting the 9 miles in and done...I have to admit I felt pretty darn good by the time I ended it. Again...I have to get better with my timing and speed...but to actually not feel so awful when I finished (like the week of the 12 miles) I thought was a huge improvement! I did get to go out there on Sat with a blister on my heal bc I thought it was a BRILLIANT idea during the week to train without socks on.....turns out it was a HORRIBLE idea to even attempt to do that. Shocking..I chose to learn the hard way! :)
I definetly spent a lot of both Sat and Sun this weekend concentrating on improving my posture and breathing properly while kicking it up as much as I felt I could handle. I'm thinking that may be why my hips were killing me by Monday. Sun. went well too. Instead of stopping for a water after the first three miles I kept going so I could finish the 6 I set out to do and then go about my day. That was a hard decision...bc by the time I wrapped around close to the 4.5 mile mark...the hunger and thirst kicked in. Started getting some chills again bc it was starting to get a lil warm out there. But, I made it through it all and was super happy to finally be back at the car to take the shoes off and go about the day. After Sun's training I definetly felt worse than I had on Sat. which was weird since it was less miles. However, somehow I formed yet another blister on my foot...this time on the bottom of my foot. Of course it sucks but it gives me a reason to go get a pedicure and a foot & leg massage. Oh yea..and I got to see cousin Colleen out there running too! I like seeing her out there....she too checks in on me to see how I am doing w/ the training and I get to hear how hers is going too!
Coach (aka M.O.) was out there w/ me again this weekend too & THANK GOODNESS she is..bc she really is great at giving me suggestions on how to improve my trainings. I did promise her that eventually I would actually listen to her advice & that sometimes I am just slow at implementing what she's teaching me...but I will still give her the kudos for being the one that taught me it! :)
Coach kicked butt this weekend herself! She's continuing to improve her times and still blows me out of the water. Just wanted to say Great Job this weekend Coach! We completed a total of 15 miles over the weekend. 9 on Sat and 6 on Sun! We are scheduled to do 14 next Sat and will probably do 6 or maybe even 7 on Sun....I can hardly wait to attempt the 14 miles next weekend...lol...12 was so hard! I can only imagine how these 14 will go...tho I do not after it gets done..its just one more to check off the list until the next big one. YEY!
