Cool Running for the week of April 20, 2008

[ttdriver]

Hi everyone!

Just finished my second day in a row running 8 miles. Considering this wicked cold of mine, 16 miles in two days is a pretty good achievement!

Changing up my schedule since starting my new job ... new running days will be Tues, Thurs, Sat, Sun, approx 30 miles every week. When October gets here, I'll be training for my third marathon!

Betty: My running schedules are always a work in progress. I purposely build flexibility in to switch days around based on weather, how I feel, etc.

16 miler in this morning. Weather is beautiful here in Michigan. 70s and Sunny.

2 more high mileage weeks, then the taper starts. Marathon 6 is in 5 weeks!

Monday: 2.6 miles in for me. Slacked off friday - Sunday...weather was gorgeous and i was up at the cottage..my favourite place to run. So there's no excuse, besides just sitting enjoying the 85 deg temps!

Monday 4/21--3 miles
Wednesday 4/23--5.5 miles

I have my first race this weekend, a 5-mile race. Over the weekend it snowed and it's been snowing off and on this week...cross your fingers that it doesn't snow this weekend--I'm already going to be running in the windiest city in North America (and it's NOT Chicago), I don't need snow, TOO!

Next weekend I'm running the Bloomsday in Spokane.

Good luck with the race Julie! I absolulte hate running in snow (actually, not too keen on snow in general LOL)..so i've got my fingers crossed you get nice weather!

I took a rest day yesterday, was my birthday and really, who really wants to run on their birthday (ok, probably Betty and Rich..but beside them LOL).

Today I ran 3.5 miles in my new NB shoes..they're awesome!

Jen, you're right, I *would* run on my birthday, but that's cuz at 52, its a bragging right to still be running! I hope you had a terrific BD!!!

Thurs, 4/24: 5.2 mile run in 90 degree heat. Egad, summer is here already!
