My streak with shorts is intact, but I admit to cheating. I made it through the beginning of the week, then headed south to Florida to visit friends. I did my long run today in their community — 13.1 miles covering all the streets including all the cul-de-sacs:
The weather was ideal — sunny, breezy, and in the balmy 60s. Very pleasant. It was a very nice run. I was originally planning to run 12 miles, but I felt good at the end and decided to tack on an extra mile to make it a half marathon distance. And I thought to myself — OK, in two years I’ll be down in Florida doing a half marathon one day and still be facing a full marathon the next day (planning to run the Goofy). I can do this I think!.
Here’s the week in review:
Mon — 5.06 miles — 9:55 pace, felt really strong; strength circuit at the YMCA
Tues — 6.22 miles — 11:07 pace, slow and easy
Wed — 5.06 miles — 10:55 pace, felt a little stiff and slow
Fri — 13.1 miles — 10:40 pace, a very comfortable run throughout
What a cheater with the Florida weather! there’d be no shorts here this weekend! Cold. Brrrr. Kelli told me about the Goofy Challenge in 2014. Good for you!!
