There really isn’t much to say about last week’s training other than that while I didn’t log every mile I hoped, I still finished the week feeling strong and proud.
- I ran every day I was in Los Angeles: 12 miles, 3 miles, and 4 miles!
- I packed my stick and used it religiously each night!
This morning, even though my body thought it was 3am, I woke up bright and early to log a quick run this morning! Between yawns the miles passed quickly and smoothly even though I was on a treadmill. Throughout the day, the jet lag and lack of proper eating over the past few days caught up with me. Mid-day I found myself mindlessly snacking with my co-workers and I drank more soda than water today! What can I say? I’m human!

My goals for this week’s training include mileage and health goals alike.
- Log every mile on my training plan.
- Forego sweets until Saturday after my long run.
- Focus on drinking water versus soda this week, especially since I received a pack of Crystal Light Pure to sample!
- Bring plenty of fuel for my long run down in Charleston.
