This week I again didn't get in the miles I needed to run. I ran 5 miles on monday. I didn't have time to run in the morning and I started late in the afternoon so I ran out of light. Tuesday I did speed work at the track. I ran 1/2 mile repeats. It was good but again I didn't have enough time to do enough repeats. I ran a mile warm-up and then 5, 1/2 mile repeats.
Wednesday and Thursday I again didn't run. Friday I ran in the afternoon and again I ran out of light but I finished 19 miles at 8:30/mile before it got too dark.
I was supposed to run 22 miles on Saturday but I moved the long run to Friday so we could do a Super Sprint Triahlon on Saturday. A super sprint is shorter than a sprint. It consisted of a 200 yard swim, 5 mile bike ride and 1 mile trail run. Had I not run 19 miles the day before, I would hardly think this little triathlon would be a warm-up, let alone a workout but it pretty much kicked my butt. The swim was especially tough for me. It has been a long long time since I swam much at all. I feel like I need to learn to swim all over again if I'm going to do any more triathlons. I didn't have a wetsuit either and the water was pretty cold. Ok, enough whining. I need to get better at completing all the miles on my schedule or I will never make my goal time.
