Week 10 of 12 on the road to the Windward Half Marathon:
Sunday: Stretch and Strength - Relaxing rest day.
Monday: 5 mile run - Pretty consistent run. Always make the same time. Must be Monday...
Tuesday: Speed work - 45 minute Tempo Run - Ran on the treadmill and ran 3.5 miles in the 45 minutes. Tried to run "comfortably hard."
Wednesday: 3 mile run and strength - Not able to work this run in. Home schedule too demanding. Had to put it off.
Thursday: Rest day - Was expecting to run to make up for yesterday's blow-out, but alas, the day was too crazy. Sometime it happens...
Friday: 5 mile pace - Another routine 5 miler on my familiar route. Need to change it up next time!
Saturday: 11 mile run - This was a hard day. Probably because of my missed days. I made it through even though I totally wanted to quit after only 6 miles. Thankfully my pride carried me long enough for my GU and second wind to kick in. Slow time, but at least I finished it!
The best thing about this week: Wow. Eleven miles in one day and a total of 24.5 miles for the week! The miles are starting to add up. I feel really good about that.
The biggest challenge of this week: The biggest challenge for this week has definitely been time. When I started this training program, my summer schedule made it work. Now that I'm back to homeschooling three kids, getting two kids to work, and added doctor appointments this week, I must stay that I wish I could just get this race over with. I really am enjoying my running, but the added race training is getting hard to fit in to real life.
Another week down and only two to go until race day!

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
