Ease On Down The Road..

August 30, 2011

…I admit it – I felt guilty for not going out for a run yesterday morning.  I’m starting to get antsy about the fact that I’ve got a 10k RACE coming up in a few weeks.

*gulp*

I just don’t feel like I’ve been training hard enough.  I’ve had several long runs, but not consistently.  However, I don’t want to beat myself up like I did before my FIRST OFFICIAL 5k RACE this past May.  I think I over-trained because I had the issues with my Nike+ and Runkeeper apps.  I was worried that I didn’t have the distance.

I know that I have the distance, I’m just inconsistent.  But I figure if I go out and get at least one long [5+ miles] of run in a week, I’ll be doing pretty well.

Regardless, yesterday I was completely under the weather and could barely get out of bed.  This morning, I was much better, but thought it best to just take a leisurely bike ride.

5.79 MILES OF HUGE SUCCESS, thank you.

A beautiful morning – quiet and just cool enough to wear a long-sleeved shirt and not be overly warm.

A girl could get use to this…
