Running Log 5/31/12: Rest Day

Rest Day.  I needed a day off.

Running with a Partner - Laziness foiled

For the last few years, I have been trying to get people to run.  Many of my friends are not as interested in getting in shape.  It was really kind of funny today.  I texted my friend that is starting to run to get in shape for the James River Splash and Dash that we are doing in July.  I was being a bit of a smart ass because I knew he didn't really want to start running this week.  

So... I was all set to go home and unwind and skip running today because I am a little worn out from the end of the school year. I got a response at 5 today. So are we going? And with a couple of muttered swears I ended up going to the track to encourage my friend and doing a speed workout for myself as he started his running program. So I guess, I can benefit from having a running partner. Look at me I am learning, growing, and a little less lazy.

Today the weather was hot but I am beginning to become acclimated to the humidity.  Did a speed workout today, and did 12, 100's as a part of this. Whew. It was quite a start.  The foot felt funky again today. Not sure if it is the new shoes, or what, felt funny though.  All said and done did 6 miles.  Not a bad showing.

FARC Cross Country Schedule

The Fredericksburg Area Running Club published their 2012 Cross Country Series schedule.  I am so excited.  I was hoping for the evening runs that they had done in the past.  But I suppose that I can wake up early in the morning for a race.  They run the Best kind of 5K. Cheap.  Plus, I like the course.  Pratt Park is Great.

Ran about 5k

Very humid. Foot feeling strange. 

Plan to run easy 4 miles and had to stop. Walked the rest of the way.  I feel like I didn't eat enough today. I am going to have to make sure that I eat a little more at lunch.  (Hard to stuff it all in, in the allotted 12 minutes.)
