A week in review

Time for catching up!  Another hot week here in the south.  And more challenging business.  Let's get started:

Monday: Biking, 5.24 miles, ~30 minutes

Tuesday: Nothing.  C had a dentist appointment in the middle of the day then I wasn't able to do anything after work.  So it was deemed a rest day.

Wednesday: Running, 2.71 miles, ~30 minutes.  It was another hot and humid day.  I didn't feel as defeated by the weather as I did the previous week.  I made sure not to overtax myself and have a sports drink with me as I ran.  I knew it was going to be hot, so I set my goal from the outset as 30 minutes.

Thursday: Biking, 5.26 miles, ~30 minutes.  I tried to up the pace some on this run.  It's a goal I'm going to be working on until the MS ride.

Friday: Running, 2.61 miles, ~30 minutes.  See Wednesday.

Saturday: We had company and L had a Tae Kwan Do tournament, so another rest day.

Today: Running, 4.82 miles, 1 hour.  The long run is definitely a mental game.  Yes, I want to keep running.  Yes, I can do it.  And I do.  Not that the weather is a great motivator.  Or hills.

This week, as it looks right now, doesn't appear to have as many challenges to getting out.  Saturday is the pre-determined rest day.
