weekly rundown: too few, too many

i am so glad you all claimed to like my artwork. i labored over them for hours ten minutes. i will do my best to channel my michelangelo skillz regularly. at work.

as for the husband for "sale" on craigslist, i am merely subscribed to the local craigslist free stuffs and furniture by owner in case a good deal pops up. sorry to disappoint.


week in review (12/6 - 12/12):
total miles: 29.44
time spent running: ~ 4 hrs 29 min
avg pace: 9:10
off days: 2

• mon: total laziness. ugh.
• tue: an early morning run! in 18*. i lasted 2.5miles.
• wed: double laziness. yuck yuck.
• thu: an attempt at a tempo, 10mi total
• fri: easy 6mi with josh
• sat: easy 5mi with terri
• sun: easy 4.5mi with terri; easy 1.5 in vibrams

so after my three good weeks and a cutback week, apparently my body/mind were still in cutback mode and i had a pretty slack week. i learned i need to continue to declare my 30-min/day rule. i thought i'd stick to it without officially listing it on my monthly goals but apparently that's not good enough.

as for my tempo attempt - i averaged an 8:18... a solid 30 seconds slower than what i should be doing (and have done recently on other runs). i don't know if it was because it was my first non-easy run in cold weather since last winter (43*, but my asthma acts up in cool weather) or if i was being cautious in the dark.

spotted on my thursday run-mute

week in review (12/13 - 12/19):
total miles: 40.40
time spent running: ~ 5 hrs 53 min
avg pace: 8:54
off days: 1

• mon: easy 4mi with josh
• tue: 3mi tempo (7:39/mi avg)
• wed: weights & abs
• thu: another runmute! added on a bit to make it 9mi (normally 6-7)
• fri: ran errands. literally. 5mi easy
• sat: easy 3+mi
• sun: long run with 6x800

oops. i wasn't supposed to hit 40 miles for another week or so. on saturday's short 'n easy run i got the stink eye from a runner girl who was overdressed; it was 37* and i was in shorts and longsleeve shirt. i'd illustrate that but i wasn't quite sure how to portray the stink eye via paint.

on friday i decided to run errands since my legs were a little achy from thursday's run-mute. i stopped at the post office and walmart. it was alright until the last mile when i started to get annoyed at carrying my bag.
