It's been a very busy week and the busiest yet in my running career! HA! And because of this busyness, for the first week, I didn't follow the program. I didn't get home before 6:00 this entire week and by Thursday, I came down with a head cold. Combining these two things (not training and the cold) and I'm suddenly extremely nervous about tomorrow's 7.5 mile run. This week has left me feeling weak and un-relaxed... a feeling I haven't yet felt while preparing for a run.
Tuesday's run was fast. 15.5 mile pace including the 5 minute walking warm-up. I think it's the shoes. HA HA!!! My mom and brother are both being especially supportive and both sent me money to get new shoes. So I went in to the Runner's Edge and got fitted for new runners! I got some gray and teal Nike Zooms. LOVE THEM!
This week coming up proves to be just as busy. My school is hiring a new Superintendent and they are involving the teachers in the interviews and the decision which is why I wasn't even home until 10:00 on Thursday and won't be home until a similar time next Wednesday. I'm hoping these runs will help me calm down after these busy weeks and I will be able to use running as a destresser. I'm already seeing the camaraderie with my in-laws as a huge help in these stressful times.
