Longest Run to date!

Hi All 

This weekend was pretty good - spent most of it at home, doing errands, or running. 

I began my weekend with a 3.2 mile run, and also a lot of walking. Phill and I went for a night time walk around our neighborhood.  The run was very easy going, and the walk was really nice.  Phill and I spent a good 3 - 4 hours watching Breaking Bad, season 3.

Saturday Phill and I went for another easy 30 minute run (probably 3.2 miles) in the afternoon. The run was around Santa Clara University campus and back home.  We watched another 2 hours of Breaking Bad, too. 

Sunday Phill and I went out for 55 - 60 minutes of running (6 miles was the plan).  Both of us felt really good, and ended averaging 6.17 miles in 8:39 pace - it the pace was very easy.  We then jogged for another half mile and then walked the rest of the way.  In total, we did 7 miles, running 6.67 miles.  This is the longest run since my injury, which is really awesome. 

I did 31.9 miles last week.  24 of that was running miles.

In addition to running on Sunday, I made enough spaghetti sauce for at least 3 days.  I'm happy to say I might have saved us money this week. :) 

Here is my running plan this week (it's a pretty low key week this week): 

Monday: Off / Core / Foam Roll
Tuesday: 2 miles, easy / Foam Roll
Wednesday: 3 miles, moderate; with strides. / Foam Roll
Thursday: 3 miles, easy / Foam Roll
Friday: 2 miles, easy
Saturday: 2 miles, easy
Sunday: 5 - 6 / Race Day!  (This is the course map: http://nvm.tummeling.com/wp-content/uploads/5k-Map.pdf ) 

Tomorrow my Mom is coming over to watch Grey's Anatomy and eat dinner.  I'm looking forward to seeing her.  I hope the episodes aren't too sad - I might end up breaking down this time. 

Goals this Week: 

  • Read at least one more chapter in my book 
  • Take a look at opening an account with a Credit Union
  • Continue to slowly get the house unpacked and organized
I'll keep you posted on how much I get accomplished this week. :)
