Sometime this week I realized I made a mistake that I haven’t made in the 15ish years I’ve been running post-college.\u00a0 I had miscounted my days for a training plan.\u00a0 Some how I was a week off – I was going to be ready for race day a whole week early!\u00a0 Ugh.\u00a0 I know I won’t repeat the weekend workout and I’ll figure that out later.\u00a0 I decided that it’d be better to repeat one of the workouts I’ve already done instead of repeating a later workout.\u00a0 So I went out for a 6×800 with 2:30 rest.<\/p>\n

My alarm went off at 4:30am.\u00a0 I think a combination of the exhaustion of the week, the early hour, and the frustration of screwing up the calendar made it extra hard to get out of bed this morning.\u00a0 I didn’t actually leave the house until almost 5am which is a super long time for me to get ready!\u00a0 I was also a little stiff and sore from yesterday’s workout!<\/p>\n

I decided to try and see if the Luce Line trail was cleared of the man-made snow and open up another route for running.\u00a0 Unfortunately, I got a little ways down and realized that the annual flooding was in full force.\u00a0 Frustrating.\u00a0 So I turned around in the middle of an 800. It was hard to tell how deep and far the flooding went, but I know from previous years that it has been up to my cranks on my bike – so not an ideal way to start out a run.<\/p>\n

So I made my way back out and did essentially the reverse of my normal loop through Wirth.\u00a0 I spent more time in the Bog side and tried not to repeat any of the same sections, but inevitably that happened a couple of time.\u00a0 It was nice to “explore” this section as I hadn’t much yet.\u00a0 There was really only a few muddy spots on this side. One challenge is trying to stay off the bike trails as they are officially closed to all traffic.\u00a0 I think I did that ok. Only one section of my whole run was actually shoe clingy muddy!<\/p>\n

Overall I ran 5.25 miles in 54:33.<\/p>\n

4:19<\/p>\n

4:39<\/p>\n

5:36<\/p>\n

4:54<\/p>\n

SECOND RUN<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have an annual tradition of the kids running the Get in Gear 2K<\/a> with some friends.\u00a0 We met up and walked down to the race. I ran with my daughter for the 2K and she did pretty well.\u00a0 I was impressed that my son actually beat her!! They both had to stop and walk a few times throughout. It is a fun event, especially when done with friends.\u00a0 We also ran into an old running buddy and that was fun to catch up a little bit with him.\u00a0 It was like 62, but with lots of wind and a few random sprinkles!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
