first winter training week ... done
Four days in and I've done all the workouts thus far in the training program ... yeah me!
I had Friday off as a rest day, between having the cold, getting back to work and finishing off a project I was exhausted and in desperate need of a day off and a hot bubble bath. After an hour of soaking in lavendar and epsom salts, a friend came over, we ordered pizza and watched Little Miss Sunshine. A perfect evening and I loved the movie.
Saturday morning met up with the group at the market for a run on a very drizzle morning ... I did get to wear my shorts again ... it's still January! After a coffee I met up with Mary for a weight workout at the gym. I lost my membership card to the gym about 8 months ago .. they want $35 to replace it ... seriously it a 10 cent piece of plastic. I have a similar looking point card to a local store so I've been running it through the scanner ... so far no one has caught on ... he he he.
When I got home my running shoes were really wet from the run, so in my infinite wisdom I decided to take out the insoles and place them on the heater to dry out. I don't if I was born with this knowledge or read it somewhere, I'm hoping I read it somewhere. If this is the case I have someone else, albeit I don't know who, to blame. This is an ongoing theme with me, I like to think things aren't my fault. When I went to put my shoes back together this morning, the left insole had melted! It's all shrived and two inches smaller than the right!
Today was the first long run of the program, I got 8.5 miles in with D. It's my first run with D in a while, he didn't disappoint and supplied me with kleenex for my endlessly running nose.
No running tomorrow, going to try a pilates class.
