Taper Day 6. Running FAIL.

by admin on March 8, 2010



Life sometimes has a way of conspiring with our wishes and desires to make things happen. Such was my day yesterday. I needed to (well maybe not *needed*, but definitely *should have*) hit the trails for a 6 mile run. But, one thing led to another led to another, and before I knew it, it was late in the day. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned here before, but one of the things I do to keep the peace in the Jones household is cook dinner on the weekends. (It’s not really that bad. I love cooking….)

Long story short – if I would have tackled my run, there would have been no peace Sunday evening. I’m not going to stress about it. As I’ve said before, I’ve been running pretty consistently for a while now. Plus or minus six miles isn’t going to make a whole hill of beans.

I wrapped up last week with 30.25 running miles. Got a hill workout done midweek, and a medium long run on Saturday.

Coming this week:

  • Monday: Rest.
  • Tuesday: 6 miles general aerobic. Stretching afterwards.
  • Wednesday: 30 minute tempo run.
  • Thursday: 6 miles general aerobic. Stretching afterwards
  • Friday: Rest
  • Saturday: 8 miles. Slow and easy.
  • Sunday: 2 miles general aerobic.
  • Total planned miles: 25 miles.

My new pet should have nothing to hide from this week. He’ll be wallowing in the mud….
