so. the training continues
Currently, I’m in week 10 of training for the LA Marathon…which normally would not require a post all of it’s own. However, I’m aware that I am over halfway to this goal.
SUNDAY I ran 12 horrid miles. In the rain. Which isn’t such a big deal, except of course it hadn’t spilled one drop…until I decided to put on my shoes. I started out in the rain, dropped my sweatshirt in the usual place, and kept the pace very slow. I got out toward the country. Alone. In the rain. I spied a dog on the right. A little one, but a dog nonetheless. I continued to press on.
On River Road, 2 cars played chicken with me, although in defense of the first driver, I think she was texting. The second driver looked at me and purposely PURPOSELY swayed into me.
I was listening to a podcast from herknees, so I was entertained to say the least. I took a Gu over Jack Tone. By the time I looped all the way around the city, it was 9 miles. NINE. Around my whole city. I barely made mile 10-12, barely shuffling my feet.
TUESDAY was a quick fiver.
WEDNESDAY Did a 6 mile tempo run. Well, four of it was tempo. At a 9:40 pace. It was hard, I had to pull it out, but I did it.
Tonight I have my final Shot Clock duties for my year. I have been on the shot clock for 3 games, and I freaking ROCK it. Although sometimes I click it too much. I over-click.
Tomorrow, we have 14 on the schedule.
I am simply amazed that I’m still running. Still.
Still and always! Your doing incredible MsV!!! Keep it going please!!!!
Nine miles to get all the way around your city? That’s like Disneyland…..
You are rocking the training. Hope the 14-miler was a good one.
Liking the new blog lay-out too. 🙂
Great job with the 14miler!
