This would be all of last week. Sorry for the lateness!
It's been tricky finding time to run. I somehow managed to keep it consistent to every other day last week. My average mileage in a session has made it to just around 5.5 miles. On Sunday, I managed to make it to 6 before I could go no further.
I missed my run day on Tuesday. Which means I have some catching up to do in order to make my mile count this week. I've also noticed that I'm going to have to change up my strength workouts. Or find a better place to do so. While I love our little gym, it doesn't have very much equipment.
I'm feeling more and more reluctant about running outside. It's been cold and rainy almost every day this week. I feel like I'm going to have to start using the indoor track at the university, or maybe just run around the basketball court inside.
I definitely need to step it up this week. Luckily, it's not over yet!

Week 2 Update
As mentioned earlier, I've decided to update once a week. I figure the best time is at the end of the week where I can recap everything.
To be perfectly honest, this was not the best of weeks in terms of obligations and stress. Most of my days started early and ended quite late. I didn't make my mile count and only made it to the gym a few times. I did, however, eat pretty well. I've been loading up on the fruits and veggies as much as possible. The biggest hurdle I had to tackle was work. On the days I forgot to pack a lunch, I ate across the street and had salad or soup and fruit.
This week feels like it's going to settle down a little. I'm so grateful that I get to do so many awesome things and that I have a job, but it definitely wore me out this week.
Week 3's mile count is a solid 20 miles. Given that I have to have a day of rest, this means I have to run or do a cross-training exercise of three miles each day. Yikes! My time is improving, moving down to 9:15ish. For this race, I'm not so concerned about the time. I just want to run consistently and finish.
That's about all the updating I can do for right now. Gotta scoot off to rehearsal :)
