My Next 7 Runs

On Thursday, I'm leaving to go to my parents' for a little over a week. I'm tremendously excited about all the family/friends/events/activities that I'll be squeezing in during that time. (I really hope that Stephanie has her baby while I'm home!)

Athletically, home is a dream come true! I'll be with my running mom and sisters, run a 5K with my cousins, have access to pools and the YMCA (I never in my life thought I would ache so longingly for a YMCA...we need one here desperately.), and generally just be in an environment where exercise/health is embraced instead of skeptically, slightly disapprovingly viewed as something a little wacky. (That might a little bit of a hyperbole, but not much.)

Here's the plan:

Monday
1 mile, evening
(Remarkably, I haven't been sore at all from my 10 miler on Saturday, but I'm a little concerned because I had some slight knee aches during the run. So I'm taking it a little easy.)

Tuesday
3 miles, morning

Wednesday
5-6 miles, evening

Thursday
1 mile, first thing

Friday
2 miles, at home!

Saturday
5K for the Greenway

Sunday
8 miles

Thanks for peeking in on me and holding me accountable! This is by far the best I've ever stuck to a training plan.
