Despite a bunch of unscheduled work and meetings, I managed to get in 18 miles this week and averaged 9:26/mile. I was hoping to run closer to 24 miles, but things just got in the way. My 6 miler on Saturday was a bit faster than I had hoped - I ran it at 9:35 and should have tried for around 10:30, but oh well. I am really enjoying getting outside in the early morning again after trying a few weeks in the gym's treadmill; I just cannot handle the treadmill! I also managed 2 spin sessions (hoped for 3) but only one strength session. This week I need to get back on schedule as I can feel the unbridled food orgy from Thanksgiving week catching up with me.
Found a pair of PI Peaks for $45 (normally $109) on Amazon and ordered them (free shipping!); by the next morning they were back up to $86 so I'm glad I snagged them at that price. They are the gorgeous pink ones and it is KILLING me not to wear them. I still have quite a bit of mileage left on my current pairs so I plan on using the new ones to train/race USAF in the fall.
Wish I had more to write, but it has been a totally blah week.
Yay for your 18 miles! I'm glad you got to get your time outside, too. :)
