This week went well, I managed to get in all my runs even though I had to extend my training "week" by one day. Christmas shopping took over most of my day on Friday and then I turned around and went shopping with my family again on Saturday. I've realized shopping wears me out, especially when I am with my family. Thankfully, I only need to pick up a few snacks to finish out all my gifts. Which I will be doing tonight at Hy-Vee when I swing through Dubuque on my drive to my parent's house. Yippee!
Here's what I did for the week.
- Monday: Rest
- Tuesday: 5 miles treadmill
- Wednesday: Spin class
- Thursday: 4.5 mile with 3 @9:22 with 1% incline
- Friday: Shopping/Off
- Saturday: 2 mile walk
- Sunday: 2 mile walk with 0.5 mile run
- Monday: 10 mile on treadmill around 9:40 pace
I spent so many weekends this past summer doing long runs on Saturday and long bikes on Sunday that I feel a bit guilty doing long runs when I am home with my family. Not so much when we are just lying around doing nothing, but times when they want to do something. I should just get up early on the mornings and get my long run done early, but I don't want to give up my late nights either. I hope I am a little better about getting in my runs in the next couple of days while I am in Iowa.
Any suggestions for getting long runs in while visiting family?
