My Arches Hurt

I am definitely not following the plan "as scheduled". I didn't make the Sunday or Tuesday runs, but ran 4m on Wednesday and 3m this morning. I am trying to work on my speed with this round of training though and its hurting. My arches and feet in general are sore. Who would have known that those muscles would be the most out of shape. I need some yoga!
So, basically, I've hit 7 of my 15 miles this week. I'm not planning to run 8m tomorrow. So, it looks like week 2 I'll fall short again. I'm not too disappointed though. Like Jamie said....baby steps.

Today's Plan Says "Rest"

I officially love rest days. They make you feel like you can eat ice cream without worries and go to bed early. However, this is not the case when you don't run on the days that actually have miles assigned to them. I did successfully run 2 miles in Arkansas today, on the hills and in the blazing heat. It took 25 minutes, but whatever. It's only week 2. Baby steps.

That makes 2 miles out of an expected 15 for the week. Looks like I need to run 4 miles each day for the next 3 days. Ouch.

Wrong Direction

Yesterday was supposed to be "get back on the wagon" day, however after waking up at 4:15am to catch a flight to Bentonville to meet a few deadlines, I end up spending my evening...sleeping. Yup, I am proud to announce that I fell asleep sometime between 6:30 and 7pm, and didn't wake up until 1am, with the tv still on. Needless to say, unless I had some kind of marathon dream, I don't think I did anything active all day.

Fast forward to today, and it would appear that Grey's Anatomy should air more 2 hour specials, because it kept me on the treadmill for 4 whole miles! Yippee! Looking forward to week 2!

Week 1 Training

So far, I'm behind in week 1. I missed Sunday's 4 miles, but made up for it with a 4 miler after work on Monday. Then, I was too tired from Mondays run to hit Tuesday's. So, Wednesday I ran 3 miles before work to make up for Tuesday's miss. Now that just means I need one more 4m and 3m to go for this week. With Memorial Day weekend approaching, we'll see how that goes. :)
