#treadmill miles

[fortheloveofcows]

Ran a mile and then walked til I hit 30 minutes.

I forgot how bad I smell after some long days. I could smell the cow poop seeping out of my pores and through my hair as I started to sweat. I smell lovely. 😬

Happy to have gotten a quick little workout in before dinner.

Now I’m watching The Little mermaid!! 🧜‍♀️

H-H-O-T-T

It’s hot.  Like really hot.  The sign at the bank near our house read 103 degrees.  I went to spin this morning, meaning I was due for 4 miles this evening. No, thank you!

I opted to run on the treadmill instead.  4 miles/35:15/8:47  I had a side cramp the whole time, so I was happy to just get it done.

I leave you with this man’s thought’s on the heat that Petya shared:

“The devil ain’t busy”  Heck no he isn’t!  He’s found some A/C like any sane person!

50K Training Week 7

Monday: 3 miles

Tuesday: Spin

Wednesday: 6 miles

Thursday: Rest day

Friday: 18 miles

Saturday: 6 miles

Sunday: Rest day

So what happened is…I kind of did a poor job of planning this week.  I am flying out Friday at 11am to spend the weekend visiting family in Texas. 

No way am I doing 18 miles in East Texas heat.  Not happening.

Meaning my long run needs to happen Friday morning before I go to the airport.

I always do my long runs outside.  Always.  It is extremely rare for me to run on a treadmill.

Given the time restraints though, my plan is to hop on a treadmill at the YMCA at 5am when they open and get through as many miles as I can before 8am.  At a 9:30 pace and with 2 or 3 short breaks, I should be able to get through 18 miles in three hours.  I have made peace with the fact that I might only get in 15 or 16.  Whatever.  Life happens.

To further complicate things, I’m hosting a sorority function Thursday evening (because you are never too old for those types of things).  I’m just going to have to be really careful about what I eat/drink since I’ll have some serious miles only a few hours later.  More great planning on my part.

My motivation to get through this week’s stupid scheduling headaches is enjoying family and my favorite Mexican food once I get to Texas.  My running mantra this week is enchiladas, enchiladas, enchiladas.
