HELLA work week, but fleece makes it all better....
Glad to be home after my 2nd to last week in Harrison. This week was HELLA at work. My patients were REALLY sick and (pardon me for saying so)...their families were REALLY annoying. I was running non-stop for almost the whole 13 hours I was there each day and nothing seemed like enough for anyone!! Aghhh....needless to say, I was anticipating coming home.....
I did 5 miles this morning in my neighborhood, and it was colder than expected. I just wore shorts, a t-shirt, and a fleece pull-over, but I did have to wear a headband over my ears...ahhhh, cold weather running....it felt pretty good and I started to feel comfortably warm about halfway through my run. I think tomorrow morning is supposed to be a FEW degrees warmer, so I will probably wear a running skirt and a long sleeve performance shirt.
My weird splits were: 1st 2.5 miles, 22 minutes
2nd 1.5 miles 13 minutes
3rd mile 9 minutes
Don't ask me to average that out....I'm too lazy and too focused on time lately...setting myself up for failure I think....
I need to be incorporating more hills and speed work into my runs soon...my routes are getting boring and I think I am reaching a stagnant plateau. I would love to do some stuff with a running clinic, whenever I am home on a regular basis, after next week...will probably ask around on that one...
Lastly....I am having runner's lust for any and all things fleece....can I be saved?
Maybe I will get to wear my pink-fleece tomorrow morning for the River-Trail run....9 miles...ugh...
