Last Week:
- Monday – Tonight was my first Freihofer Challenge Group run. It was fun to see everyone from last year’s advanced group. We hugged and chatted and then just ran 30 minutes easy.
- Tuesday – I don’t usually run three days in a row, but an arctic chill was forecast so I ran a quick one near work before tennis 🎾
- Wednesday – Spring but felt like winter…9 windchill!!!
Yeah, I took a rest day and went out to dinner with a former co-worker.
- Thursday – I met Alyssa for a run at the Crossings. As usual it was good one.
- Friday – I had planned on a short run but it was damp and rainy so I went to the gym and activated my free 6 month membership.
- Saturday – I went to the gym for an evaluation, had an orientation and actually used the machines. I have no elaborate plans for working out but I am going to try to use the machine 2x a week. We’ll see.
In the afternoon, I went to the movies with friends (instead of the Hot Yoga fundraiser for STEM.)
it’s a thriller but I liked it.
Afterward, we got pizza (another fundraiser for STEM.)
carb loading for my friends running a half marathon LOL
- Sunday – I ran the Shamrock Shuffle race today. The rain held off until after the race:) and it was a fun 5 miler. I even won 3rd in my age group.
a medal & Irish soda bread was the prize 🙂
After the race, though I didn’t feel like it, I ran 4 more miles so I could get in 9 for the day. And in the rain.
I celebrated my successful running day with some wine out with a friend. (No need for a reason for wine actually.)
5 more weeks to go!!
21 miles done with 4 runs and 3 rest days
This Week:
- Monday – FRW Training Group Run (4 miles)
- Tuesday – rest day, tennis
- Wednesday – 3 miles, dinner with the tennis ladies
- Thursday – 6 miles (with Alyssa?)

I hope I will be. But who knows. My feet seem to start complaining after 4 miles. I hate my feet!

Sounds like a very solid week in not nice conditions.
If you get to the gym 2xweek I’ll be shocked, so go ahead & show me up! Hey, at least you got there once.
At this rate I may do no local races this year. 😦
