Week 3 of 12
The week got off to a slow start. My papa’s funeral was Monday and we were all
exhausted. Monday night was family BINGO night! I won $10!
My mom stayed in New York a few
extra days but my dad and I drove back Tuesday morning. Cape Cod Rehab sponsored a Marathon Sports
Mashpee Run Club on Tuesday night and I really wanted to get back for it. It ended up we were back in time but I was drained. There was no way I was up for seeing anyone
or waiting to run until 6:30pm. I did
however feel like getting out and stretching my legs for a light run and I
figured Georgie wouldn’t want to come because she had just spent 4 days at her
day care. She watched me get ready and
as I was putting my sneakers on she whined and whined and whined so I ended up
bringing her out for 2 miles! The rest
of the night… she barely moved… and that continued for about 3 days!
Wednesday I got to run with a
coworker and friend Tiffany! She’s
training for a May marathon and had 6 on the schedule. We brought Georgie for the first few miles
and I was actually surprised at how well she did. A little funny at the start but once she got
in her groove and got used to the fact we had someone else running with us, she
did great!
With rain in the forecast all day
Friday and a 3-day Easter weekend coming, I took Georgie for her long run
Thursday morning, took Friday completely off, ran a pretty hard Fartlek run on
Saturday and a nice long run on Easter Sunday.
I wouldn’t recommend doing a speed
workout the day before a long run but it just kind of worked out that way for
me this week.
My Easter Sunday run was actually
really, really good. I waited until just
after noon when the sun came out and passed a ton of other runners, walkers and
bikers out on the roads. I ran easy with
no time goals in mind. In fact I barely
looked at my watch. I stopped twice for
photo ops and a water break. I just
really tried to enjoy myself out there on some of my favorite Falmouth roads by
the beach. I ended up running 7:51 pace
so I was really happy with that and shortly after the run I was handed a mimosa
while waiting for the Easter ham to be ready!
