Week Four - done!

Happy Easter! We were up bright and early since someone was so excited to see if the Easter bunny had stopped by. I think we will be finding eggs for several days to come! Thank goodness, there were lots of Aero mint lambs hidden for Cameron to share with his mommy. If I'm running five days a week, I am entitled to some chocolate!

After lunch (and my nap), I hit the treadmill for 40 minutes of running. Why didn't I run outside? It is has been snowing hard ALL day! I'm not about to run around in slush and snow and ruin a pair of perfectly good sneakers.

This is what is left, but a lot of snow has melted already (we got about 10cm):




Weekly wrap-up
Monday - rest
Tuesday - rest (sick)
Wednesday - 40:00 run on trails, 5:1 intervals
Thursday - 40:00 run on trails, 5:1 intervals
Friday - 1.75 mile slow recovery run to try out new Garmin
Saturday - 7.15 miles, 5:1 intervals, 10:45 pace, 1:16:43
Sunday - 40:00 on the treadmill, 3.8 miles, no walk breaks

I'm happy with my running this week considering I've been suffering from an annoying cold and cough for the entire week. Hopefully I'll be back to normal health soon. I'm starting to get a little anxiety for the 15k and subsequently the half marathon. 7 miles felt quite long on Saturday. I'm going to keep my long run at 7 miles for another week before increasing to 8.

We just finished a Kinect session playing the new Disney game that Cameron got for Easter. I think my arms will be sore tomorrow!
