all the stars may shine a bright.
i knew this weekend would be a tough one training wise (hence the 16 miler on a thursday)and it played out as i suspected. friday i was able to get out for a 6 mile jaunt before piling in the car for the trip to eau claire.
i had a nice visit with my dad, then we met my mom out for a drink before heading home to feed the dog. we got to bed late, and oliver didn't sleep well which meant i was destined for a poor night's sleep as well. took the 'goose egg' in the log on saturday but had a great day catching up with mark and lisa and getting to be in my favorite my favorite metro area, msp. another late night but with better sleep on saturday night.
sunday, we awoke to beautiful weather and i just had to get out. i did my favorite ec loop consisting of the road around carson park, along the river to campus and then through putnam park. what a great 8ish miles. a quick visit to a baby (they are everywhere these days) and we were off to madison...we got back just in time to mow the lawn (me) and weed the beds (robin). good weekend in a whirlwind sort of way.
anyway, last 7 days: 47 miles (with two zero days)--i'm happy.
the past 6 months or so have been about conditioning, base and getting used to running again. mission accomplished. if everything worked out, i was hoping i'd be able to run a really good 20k or half on the fitness i've developed...and that is tbd this weekend. i start true marathon training after our trip to denmark, time to really get to work.
happy monday.
