Hi Cait, thanks for the shout out! =) I keep planning to take a day off, but i’ve been icing, stretching, etc, enough to feel refreshed enough to keep heading out each day with no problem. I had a minor achilles issue earlier in the week, but was able to ice it and it was magically better the next day. Instead of taking a day off, i’ve been forcing myself to run slower on my recovery days (10-12 miles), but I may take a day before the end of the month. Hoping to start racing in mid to late october.
My highlight this week was a long run in the pouring rain one night. I had to slow down because I couldn’t see well in certain areas, but I felt great. During the run I ran by this new middle school that opened last year, so I decided to jog behind it to see if they had tennis courts or a basketball court my roommate and I could make use of sometime and they have a TRACK!!! I was blown away, I had no idea it was even there, and its only three miles from my apartment! Perfectoooo location! =) Next week I have my first legit workout planned (8x1000m), so i’m looking forward to that!
This week I hope to beast my 13 mile run on Saturday :). BTW, I had a race which is why my numbers were lower (tapered for the race and it was shorter than what I would have normally run). I like the challenge so far and congrats to Julia on her race and accomplishments!
Yay Team Cait!! We are doing so well!
A highlight of my week? 2 x 7 mile runs and an 8-miler in the same week was pretty awesome.
I am so ridiculously happy for Julia, she is an amazing runnerchick!!
Come on Team Cait! Spread the word Caiters – get your friends in on it 🙂
