Maybe not quite the runner I had hoped...

So I started this week with my running coach. It was hard. Really, really hard.

Monday was fine: 6 miles. A nice slow pace on trails- 53:10-- not breaking any land speed records, but fine

Tuesday: met with my coach for circuit and interval training. Spent the whole time wishing it was time to be done.

Wednesday: Cross training; did my usual boxing workout. Fine, felt good, liked it

Thursday: "long run"-- only 10 miles. I know 10 is pretty far, but I just ran 26.2 m--- this should be a breeze. It wasn't. It totally sucked and I even had to walk for a minute. And I was soooooo slow. I did do a bunch of hills, but even still, it was pretty pathetic. I think about 1:30-- not sure as was having some trouble with my Garmin.

Friday: 5 miles. Fine, considering I was hungover (which is another story altogether)

I am hoping this week is a bit easier.


I am also completely "graduationed" out. 3 graduations in one week. Ouch. The speeches are pretty much all the same. I already know all the words to Dr. Seuss "Oh the Places You'll Go." Don't want to hear it again in a speech.

Also, the most entertaining was probably the 8th grade graduation at the elementary school here in town. I have never seen so many Chanel bags and >$500 heels. And that was on the 8th grade girls!!!! I am now giving serious consideration to homeschooling, especially as I have a daughter. Just a thought.
