Sunday I ran another 10K! It felt really good (although it was on the treadmill) and I managed to shave a few minutes off of my time--but considering I was on a treadmill vs. outside--its a totally different ball game. I find treadmills a LOT harder to run on--but considering the wind was CRAZY and it was chilly out--I opted for the treadmill! I enjoy running outside better because I actually have a goal to go to. I am not just in the same place for over an hour.
This week---there has been no training besides Sunday's 10K. I have my lower left wisdom tooth pulled on Tuesday evening--and it has had me out for the count. Thankfully the pull was WAY easier than my 1st--but it still hurts--and I have a pretty massive hole. Tonight I was going to go biking--but I forgot headphones, took the wrong exit, and ran into an old friend--therefore resulting in me foregoing the biking. I may go tomorrow and do a few short miles--but I am not sure. My plan is to do 1 final 10K OUTSIDE before the race next weekend! I am feeling confident I can finish--even though my time will likely be in the way bottom 1/2--I am just hoping to cross the finish line in under 1:20. My lofty goal is 1:10. We shall see. My Nike+ had my 10K last weekend at 1:10ish--but the treadmill said I still have like 1/2 a mile to go-so I started running again and clocked it in at 1:17. Slow--but steady. And it felt good! So that was what meant the most to me!
Here's the plan for the next week: Sunday--10K, Tuesday an easy 3 miles, Thursday an easy 2 miles/Group Centergy, Saturday RACE DAY! I LOVE Group Centergy--and I was AMAZED at how STRONG I felt after just one class!! So I am hoping that doing that on Thursday (and resting on Friday) will help me feel lean and strong!! :)
But--I gotta survive this tooth pain and silly cold thing I have going on. Pushing through is what I am doing!
