So last week I ran Tues, Thurs and Sat. Almost like clockwork. And yes, this means I ran on Thanksgiving. 5 miles to be exact. Last week's weather was COLD. Tuesday night I ran with Team in Training in Central Park. To be more exact we ran from 95th to 87th street 6x. Super boring. We also did a 7 min warmup. Overall I estimated about 3.8 miles which was a bit disapointing but who's complaining. I met another runner who runs like me- Nicole. We ran together maybe 4 laps and thank God because I wouldnt have made it without having that companion push. Hopefully we can start running together a bit at least for motivational purposes.
Thursdays run was at my mom's house. Simple 5 mile loop. Took 55 minutes so I was a little bummed on timing but hey, it was 40 out!!! I didnt wear anything over my drifit so that was a bad idea.
Saturday it was 32 or so when i went for a run and I definitely noticed the difference. I did wear my new Nike fleecey drifit which was magnificent and I wasnt cold. Ran 5.25 miles in a backwards loop (backwards vs. Thursdays) and then added a bit. I saw a funeral procession on Walnut Street and almost had a panic attack. For whatever reason the whole running for cancer really is kicking in.
I actualy also ran last night- Tuesday 12/2 but not with team in training. To be perfectly honest I was hung over and tired and not in the mood for any Disney character sorts. And Nicole wasnt going to be there anyway and I needed motivation. I did the treadmill workout instead. 4.65 miles in total and 4.5 of it was running. 10 min warmup (11:15 pace) then 6 x 1 (1 min short strides, 1 min normal strides) (10 pace) and then 5 min easy run then 6x1 same intervals then 6 min easy run. then cooldown. 50 min for me total (took a few walk breaks) and then cooldown.
Total Miles this week: 4.5
Total Miles last week: 14.05

Total Miles las month:48.01
