Well, I came up with that training schedule I mentioned last time and it gradually takes me up to the 13 miles I will need to run in May.
Of course, there is that old saying, best laid plans and all... I have actually been really good about sticking to the schedule for the most part, until this week that is. I worked the schedule out so that I am running on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and this week I was scheduled to do 5 miles each day for a 15 mile week. Instead I did 5 miles on Monday, a 6 mile walk on Tuesday and 8 mile runs on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday! That's right, 35 miles! More than double the plan!
Why you ask? With mom's truck being our only usable car at the moment and her not being able to drive and me not liking driving it by myself (for those that don't know, it's a stick shift) I have been running from home to the hospital every morning (at 4AM!) to pick mom up from work! If I thought I had it in me, I would take her TO work and run home too, but I'm not there yet so that part is on someone else! :-) I will be doing this or riding my bike until she is able to drive again...and maybe after that, come summertime it may be the only bearable time of day to run!
