Last week started out really well and then it came to a screeching halt thanks to that darn Peak 10 class that I took last Saturday! I woke up so sore on Sunday morning and just knew that I was not going to be able to get my long run in! I was so bummed! I ended up with the lowest weekly mileage that I have had in a while...22 miles! I have taken the last two days off and I am hoping to get back into things today or tomorrow at the very latest.
The soreness continued to kick in on Sunday and I mean everything hurts...arms, quads, calves, back, shoulders, rear end...you get the idea! I guess I am out of shape and should probably not engage in this kind of stuff the day before a planned long run. I knew it was going to happen but I took my chances. Lesson learned and I won't be doing it again because my days have been consumed with these guys....
The Disneyland Half Marathon is two weeks away and I don't feel like I am ready for it but I am going to get out there and do what I can! I have yet to set a goal but I do know that I am going to be pretty upset if I can't beat my last time of 1:57:58. I ran my last half marathon coming off of an injury and ran it pretty safe without taking any chances so I think I should be able to do a little bit better. I am hoping for cooler weather on race day and according to the weather forecast it's finally starting to cool down.
I can't remember the last time I went for a run in the 60 degree temperatures. I am looking forward to getting some runs in this weekend while the cool weather lasts!
How is the weather where you live?
What is your ideal running temperature? I prefer the temperature to be 50-55 degrees.
