Weekly Wrap Up for 4.23.18-4.29.18 – Another Week , Another Race


ru

 Away for work only TWO days!  Woo Hoo!  Still busy with bridemaid dress shopping and a race!

Last week –

  • Monday – No travel today so I was able to attend the Freihofer Training Challenge run (for the 2nd time although they are on week 6.) As usual, it’s a workout that you love to hate. We did do six 800m repeats at 5k pace.  My splits ranged from 4:24 to 4:15 and got progressively faster so I was pleased (even though I lagged behind my friends LOL).

Afterwards, I met my BFF for a walk in the mall.

  • Tuesday – Off to Liverpool for work.  I was able to get a run done before dinner and the predicted rain. Who knew it would be 75 degrees. Thank God for clouds and lake breezes.

I went back for a walk after dinner but no sunset due to the clouds.

  • Wednesday – Another rest day due to having to drive home after work. It was another rainy April day anyway.
  • Thursday – Back home and hoping for no rain and an outdoor run. No rain but clouds and WIND!!!

  • Friday – Another cool rainy day. Hopefully April showers will bring May flowers. I wanted to run but my backup plans were to pick up my race bibs, go to the Spring Run Off pasta dinner and then play mah jongg.
  • Saturday – Rest Day. I had signed up for a race (Spring Run Off 10k) but family comes first.  My stepson is getting married and my daughter-in-law to be asked me to help her bridemaids pick out dresses (Her mother had knee replacement surgery and could not come.)
  • Sunday – Race Day. Cherry Blossom 5K. Of course Saturday was a beautiful morning for a race. Today, it was COLD, windy and RAINY. A miserable day to run,  Many of my friends did run it so I am glad that I didn’t bail and I had course PR and won my age group.

I was cold and grumpy so I went home after the race.  The rain stopped and it wasn’t as cold and windy so I sucked it up and went back out to finish my “long” run for the day.

There was a lot of walking but it is done and I can relax.

  5. Well done on another PR and 1st place ! Runnng in crappy weather is … crappy, right? But you still kicked butt!

    I am an untraditional bride but I love to do wedding / bridesmaid shopping. I’m definitely a secret SYTTD watcher. Did you enjoy it?

    I have the feeling you are going to have a great time in Florida!

    • Not a traditional bride either. But it’ll be fun planning someone else’s.

      Running in the cold rain is not fun. But you can’t change the weather.

  12. Congratulations on another fabulous race! Sometimes, it pays not to bail!

    I don’t know what the weather is doing here. The mornings are sometimes cold, sometimes hot and there’s no rhyme or reason. I think the allergy season is finally easing up, which is a relief. We are all done with that.All. Done.
