I swear my running is getting more and more sporadic but I have decided I am just going to try running 3 days a week for a while and see how that goes. I ran two fives and a 10 last week. The 10 was probably the best I have had in a while. In the past I have dreaded not listening to my IPOD but didn't turn it on right a way and it was like mile 5 before I realized I hadn't. It was very nice to listen to my surrounding and just enjoy being out doors. It gave me a lot of time to think and reflect on things I wanted to change. My husband was suppose to bring me a drink because I didn't have time to drop one and I wanted to get going before it was too late. He called me when I was 1/2 a mile from home saying he couldn't find me. I really felt great the whole time and even finally got a mile under 8 minutes.
Last night I went for a run and had to push two of my kids. I only ended up running 3.7 miles and had a break in between to drop one of my kids off at soccer practice. I won't be doing that again. I was surprised how much harder the two were than just the one I normally go with.
I also talked to a friend after my 10 mile run and he said I was good to kind of keep up this pace until the middle of June and then really kick up the training. I will probably continue to run 10s and 12s at least until then. Depending on what my Saturdays bring I really would like to get in at least a 14 before the middle of June but my weekends are going to get crazy here for the next couple of months so we will see.
