This weekend seemed to fly by so quickly and now it's back to work for me!

I had another decent week and things are continuing to improve. It was another 31 mile week, (31.62) to be exact, and each run was decent. Not fast, not slow, but just right where I need to be. I went for a 13.12 mile run on Saturday morning. I had planned on 13 miles but you know how us runners just have to push for that extra .10 for some reason or another. The sun was out and it was already 70 degrees when I left my house at 6am. I was sweating the entire time but it was a great workout and the longest distance I have ran just for the heck of it.
I am going to shoot for a 15 miles long run this week if I am able. I am anxious to see if I can do it. The current plan is to increase my mileage as much as I can and see how my body tolerates it. Getting back into running since my injury has been somewhat of a challenge since I don't want to re-injure myself so "easy does it."
After my long run on Saturday, I treated myself to Yogurtland because I felt that I deserved it or maybe that was just an excuse to go. They had so many new and yummy flavors and I sampled each and every one of them. They were all so good and I topped mine off with a ton of almonds just the way I like it! I didn't take a picture of my bowl because I was so anxious to eat it that I forgot!
I heard that it was National Ice Cream Day yesterday? Did you celebrate and get your ice cream? I planned on it but ate too much lunch and couldn't make room for it.
What is your longest scheduled run for this week?
You certainly rocked that half marathon!!! Great job!!! I think you definitely earned your Yogurtland!! I celebrated yesterday with two buddies named Ben and Jerry! I had frozen greek yogurt!
ReplyDeleteThank You! I have seen the Ben and Jerry's frozen Greek yogurt and have been wanting to give it a try! I bet it is just as good as ice cream!
DeleteNice job running a half marathon! I know what you mean I always have to add that extra little bit :) I didn't know it was national Ice Cream day.. maybe I will hae to make up for it today ;0
ReplyDeleteThank you Christy! You definitely need to get some ice cream! You really deserve it after that awesome marathon you tackled!!
DeleteOh, all of that fro-yo and ice cream is making me hungry! Congrats on your successful running week!
ReplyDeleteThank You Beth! I was getting hungry while I was typing the post! I love that stuff! I get anxious when new flavors come out too!
DeleteAwesome job on the 1/2!!
ReplyDeleteThank You! How is that knee feeling? I am sure the MRI will come back clean.
DeleteI didn't know about National Ice Cream Day and so I didn't celebrate it, but I will this coming Sunday! My longest runs are still pretty short, but I'm just happy to be out there. Good for you being ready to do a half-marathon "for the heck of it!"
ReplyDeleteI guess I didn't really run it for the heck of it 100%...I really want to build my mileage back up. I am trying to make up for lost time I guess. You are doing great and things will continue to get better and better.
