That roughly correlates with my running lately. Let me explain what I've been up to.
The first full week of April I was out of town. Had the opportunity to spend a week with my Dad in southern Nevada. We had a great time but unfortunately, I only got in one two-mile run that week. I had hoped that we'd get in a bunch of mountain biking, but our days were very full and tiring and we only managed one short ride. So there is this henious 5-day gap in my training log.
I tried to get back in the saddle the next week. I was out of town on business but managed to get in a quality run on Monday and Wednesday last week. Unfortunately, then I ended up taking two days off followed by a lame two-mile run, and then another two days off.
Yikes, my training log is starting to have all the charm of a West Virginia smile.
So this week I am endeavoring to get back into a regular training schedule. I managed to sneak in a 12 miler on Tuesday and a six-miler yesterday. I found a great (new to me) trail to run on. It is the old train tracks base that was used to bring lumber down from the forest. Train tracks are gone leaving a nice smooth, steady climb and no cars to worry about.
This weekend, I'm entered in the HUMAN RACE 5K. It is a benefit fun run for CareNet, a local pro-life crisis pregnancy center. I think it is their inaugural 5K, so I'm not sure how well organized it will be or even if there will be a timer. But, I really believe in the work this group is doing and I can time my own race on my Garmin. Can't wait! I am hoping for a new PR.
