Week 2

Week 2 went well. A few ups and downs.

How it went down:

Monday: Swimming day....sort of. I only did 25 lengths and then fell into the hot tub.

Tuesday: Awesome 3 mile!! Ran it in my fastest time yet. Legs were a bit sore, but I felt great!

Wednesday: Great swim! Went with a different friend and raced 30 lengths!

Thursday: The plan was 5 miles, was goal was 6, reality was 4. My knee wasn't feeling the greatest and I thought I best take it easy opposed to pushing myself for one more mile and not being able to do the long run.

Friday: Rest Day!

Saturday: 9 miles! Went well. Definitely need to look into energy gels and supplements. The first six miles were amazing. I was on fire! Daydreaming of the big day and the entire world cheering me on. And then I totally crashed. Mile 7 was BRUTAL. I jumped off the treadmill and rifled through my bag until I found a crappy, old energy gel. It was disgusting and I kind of wanted to spit it out all over the gym floor, BUT I kept it down and miles 8 and 9 were achievable!!

Looking forward to Week 3! (Mainly because the long run is only 6 miles.....)

Also, HI! I know it's only been a short while since I posted last...errr...ok, it's been a year and a half, but priorities, right? So, yeah, downsizing...haha! In 2 years, we've gone from 3800 square feet of living space to about... 750. And, you know what? It's totally not all sunshine and rainbows, but it works! Living at the lake and having all of these amazing trees around us is completely worth it. The boys have settled into, yet, another new school and this school is the best one yet! Around the end of April last year, I came out to the cabin to clean up our holiday trailer so we could sell it. I took a break, made a caesar , and sat on the front lawn with Duke in the small bit of sunshine that made its way through the ...
