Week Off - Oops

Due to a stupidly hectic academic schedule I managed to skip the gym for an entire week and a half! I did the tuesday fun on Mar 11th and didn't get back until Mar 21st! I ended up missing 3 scheduled runs in my program. The book suggests to ease back into the schedule if you miss a week or two but what do they know lol? So right into the end of "Building week" I went. I did a 50min run on Friday at Melanie's parents place on their treadmill. Motivation was very low that day because I could hear people having fun upstairs. ugh.

Today I did my long run at my dad's house on their treadmill. (man I wish I owned my own treadmill! It would life so much easier!) 10km took me 96mins. I'm still saddened by my terrible running times. I just have to remind myself that I'm doing this to finish. The first half was difficult - I had many walking breaks as I was having troubles with cramping again - this time in my left side. The second half I put on some of my favourite songs on the shuffle, uped the volume and ran through the pain. I worked pretty well. ouch though. I had a good 3-4 kms without much pain which was appreciated. I was getting bored the last 2 km so I uped the speed and sprinted to the end.

Thank Goodness this coming week is "Easy/Recovery!" But I have a personal training session on Tuesday.
