I ran 3 miles after work on Thursday and it was pathetic. I had to stop and walk almost every tenth of a mile. I’m not exaggerating. Yes, it was hot and humid & I was tired but that’s no excuse.
I took Friday off and went up to the lake.
Saturday morning, I went for a 4 mile run. It was VERY hot and humid (I didn’t get up as early as I should have). I went south on 9N in Bolton Landing which has rolling hills and cut through the cemetery and then ran back to the marina.
It was not a particularly fast run. But I ran at a consistent pace and had negative splits. There were very few walk breaks and I felt redeemed.
Not sure the reason for this good run …it was in the morning…after a day off…pretty scenery??
So although I want to run almost everyday. My ankle says “You need to rest it.”
Today I rested it again.
Otherwise the weekend was like every weekend on the lake…relaxing and fun.
Running plans for the week:
Monday – run before work
Tuesday – Tennis
Wednesday – run after work
Thursday – run after work
Friday – REST
Saturday – 5K race
(This is similar to last week so I hope I have a good run on Sat.)
Happy Running! How was your weekend?






I feel your pain. Well not the ankle pain just the hot and humid pain! 🙂 I actually didn’t run for a whole 2 weeks and my 1st run after that almost killed me. 🙂 but this evening I ran 3 miles with only 2 walks. A slow run but a good run. 🙂
