Calling the running that I did this week "training" is a little generous but I suppose that can't be helped. I only ran 4 days, managing 22.7 miles in 2:46:45 (7:21/mile average). The positives of this week are few and far between. I got a lot of rest that I don't know that I necessarily needed but did have one good workout at the Thursday Night Track Workout. It was an 8x400 workout with a 2:45 "constant send-off", meaning that no matter what pace the 400 repeat was run at, you had to start the next one 2:45 after you started the last one. For me, this workout was a little too easy; I started with a repeat just under 70 seconds, did several at 70, and then cut all the way down to 61 seconds. It was good to get some "speed" in before the upcoming race on the 20th.
As far as the three days off I took, I feel like it's hard for me to get motivated to actually run and then I'm bummed when I don't. I am going to be joining the club associated with work. The price is very reasonable and I'm just going to go as soon as I'm done at work and then run to get it done as soon as possible and also avoid some of the rush-hour traffic. I also just need to get hungry again!
This upcoming week I agreed to run 7 days (Dan will also be running 7 days) and participating in the corporate 5k that's coming up. I'm looking forward to being back on the right track!
