Things are finally looking up and trending in a positive direction. It wasn't easy, but I did manage to string together enough miles to get to exactly 60 miles last week. I even skipped one day during the week just feeling tired. However, instead of letting that one day mess up the entire week plans, I quickly rebounded with a double on both Thursday, and Friday to get my miles right back on track like I had planned. Kimi is starting to get back into the flow of things also. Following her two sick weeks, she has now managed to complete a 43 mile week and a 53 mile week. If the weather will cooperates this week, she might even climb on up to 60. It's been a tough week on her because she's having to try to cram her work hours from 5 days into 4 days. And of course it's not because she's getting a 3 day weekend. No, she has a continuing education seminar this weekend. So all in all, if she manages to get through the week with 60 miles, she will feel quite accomplished I'm sure. Kimi also participated in the Frisco Highline for Scouting 5k on Saturday last weekend. She isn't greatly pleased with her time because that's her first 5k over 18 min in a while but looking back at what she's had to deal with the last month or so, it isn't all that bad either.
The jury is still out on whether we will be participating in the Rock the Parkway half marathon next weekend. That will depend mostly on how this weekend goes. We need to have a quality long run Sunday to get our confidence where it should be. That's going to probably be our deciding factor about whether we will go ahead and give it a shot.
I know it's the middle of the week, but I don't want to go into details about how this week is going so far. Let's just say...it's going quite well and you should look forward to my next blog post with all the details.
Week Mileage Goal = 60 miles
Actual Miles = 60 miles
