Ran both of my weekday runs this week and was disappointed to see that my performance was off similarly to my performance in my weekend run. Wednesday's run was an improvement over Monday's, but it was still worse than any from the past couple months.
I decided for my weekend run to attempt 13 miles (more so 130 minutes). I got off to a slow start but otherwise felt pretty good. The weather was cooler than recent but it was more humid than usual, and I was a sweaty mess pretty quickly. I felt good through the first ten miles but then had to overcome the desire to quit. The desire got stronger and stronger as the minutes ticked on, but I didn't give in, and by the time I finished the 130 minutes, I had completed 13.3 miles. Pretty much hit the same pace as last week which was slower than desired, but I'm glad I covered the half marathon distance.
Speaking of half marathons, I finally signed up for the Urban Cow Half Marathon as planned. Five weeks to go!
I'm off to Las Vegas this upcoming weekend, so while I should get both of my weekday runs in, I'm not completely sure what, if anything, I will be doing for my long run. I'm currently thinking that I'll try to get an eight mile in Friday morning before I take off.
