The effort continues...

Well, let me start by wrapping up week 2. I am sorry to say that I didn't really keep up the momentum of training.  The Buffalo half-marathon was cancelled and then it was back on again (thrown together in a hurry by the tourism department) and then due to being able to find a reasonable hotel room, I did not end up going.  Instead I went to the Norman Rockwell Museum with my free museum passes, which was lots of fun! :)  I didn't end up running on Thursday or Friday either. :(  Then I began my descent south on Saturday and also drove on Sunday so I missed those days running as well. I did, however visit a few wineries on Sunday in North Carolina! :) If nothing else, it was fun!

Week 3 of training began and ended O.K. but the middle of the week was a bit sketchy. LOL.  I began by running 3 miles on a fairly shaded trail in the woods on Monday. On Tuesday, I only ran about 2.5 miles because it was so hot. On Wednesday, I packed up my things and drove North to MD and no running that day. On Thursday I went to the beach so no running. :( On Friday I was a bum! On Saturday I drove home so no running again. Finally on Sunday I ran 15K at the Boilermaker and knocked about 12 minutes off my time from last year! Wahoo! Now we are entering week 3.

I didn't run yesterday, but have plans to run today after work. :)

Here's the schedule for the week.

Monday (7/9) - Cross training
Tuesday (7/10) - 3 Miles
Wednesday (7/11) - 6 Miles
Thursday (7/12) - 3 Miles
Friday (7/13) - Rest
Saturday (7/14) - 6 Mile pace
Sunday (7/15) - 11 Miles

I have been averaging about 3 days per week.  Lets hope I can step it up! :)
