Training week 3

This week started out a little painful. For some reason I had this awful pain in my right foot, so what started out as a 6 mile run turned into a 3 mile run. That was Tuesday morning before work and since we were leaving for vacation that day after work I didn't worry too much about it.

So, Tuesday evening we all piled in the car and began out journey North from Florida to Massachusetts. That evening we only drove 5 hours and stopped in Brunswick, GA. The following morning we got on the road at 7:30 AM and finished the drive in Worcester, MA at around 1:00 AM.

After getting some sleep I was up and out the door for a run. I ran 7 miles which felt really good since we left the heat and humidity in Florida and was enjoying nice cool weather in Massachusetts. I followed that 7 mile run up with a nice hilly 5 mile run in Grafton, MA.

Saturday was a day off since we had a wedding to attend and it was the Fourth of July after all. On top of that both my little girls were in the wedding so that made for a really busy day of getting their hair and nails done and getting dressed and taking pictures and etc.....

We got in really late after the wedding so I slept in a bit. Around 11:00 AM I set out for a 15 mile run but only completed 13. I've gotten so used to running the flat land down in Florida. ll the hills up here are just wearing me out. I'm sure I could have found routes with less hills but I was pretty much going for convenience without having to drive anywhere. Anyway, I was happy that I completed the 13 miles and running hills this week will only help me so that is a plus. I finished the week with 28 miles which I suppose isn't too bad considering we are on vacation and all. Next week I'll have to consider it a cut-back week since I'll miss my long run due to driving home on that day. I guess I'll have to make up miles the following week.
