I’m a little late on last weeks training update but that’s just about how the running went.  The plan at the start of the week was to swim on Monday and Thursday and run on Wednesday and either Saturday or Sunday  Well my Wednesday running didn’t go quite as planned.  After getting to work on Wednesday I was unloading my stuff from the car and realized I had forgot my running shoes.  I have no brain at five am so this happens at a couple times a month.  (I’ll only say a couple to be generous to myself.)  It’s either some critical piece of workout equipment like shoes or running gloves on days when it’s 36 degrees or most commonly, it’s lunch.  I’ve lost track of the number of times Jen has called me on her way to work “Do you want me to stop by and bring you your lunch.”

It wasn’t a complete waste because I did have my swimming stuff with me so I ended up swimming instead which meant I got in three swims last week instead of two.  I was feeling pretty good in the water so that was a plus.  I only managed one run and I had to go to the club and do it on the treadmill since it was raining.  Go figure, we haven’t had a drop of rain in this state for about two months and on my only running day it’s pouring. I never seem to be able to run quite as fast on a treadmill as I do just running outside but I got in 6 miles at just under and 8:20 pace.

This weeks running is starting out a little better.  Same plan as last week but I didn’t forget my shoes this morning.
