8 cold windy miles on tired legs

  • Sunday –  rest, THE STREAK HAS ENDED,  movie & dinner out to celebrate my mentee’s b-day

I decided to end the Streak after 10 days.  I was just running to get it done.  On my rest days, I was only running 1 mile and it took longer to get dressed and undressed. After Saturday’s pathetic long run (with more walking than running), I decided that I do need my rest.  My runs are suffering.  My legs are tired when I run EVERYDAY. I think I prefer quality not quantity. So I am returning to running only 2-3 times each week plus a longer run on the weekend.

This Week:

  • Monday –  3 miles after work, mall walk with BFF
  • Tuesday – rest, tennis
  • Wednesday – 3 miles before work, yoga after
  • Thursday – 3 miles before work, haircut after
  • Friday – rest, mah jongg
  • Saturday – 5K race
  • Sunday –  3 mile race + more, lights in the park

Happy Running! How is your running going? Any upcoming races? Anyone still streaking?

  1. Good for you . Rest is important to prevent injury. I am not even trying to do these type of challenges..I think they are not “safe” especially if you had recent injury….and for me too the quality tends to go down with no rest.
