What a great week it has been. Training i going well. I did 22.12 miles in 5:52 hours. With a total of over 180 miles since I started at the beginning of March. FIT, the training group I belong, had its second recruitment weekend. That went very well. We have Barbara,Dennis, Kathy, and Marta joining us from St Gregory's. All are excited about training and I look forward to sharing my time with them. Went 2 mornings to walk on the beach this past week. It is so great to be finished with training and do over 5 miles by like 6:15 am. I have talked to the friends I gather with, and we have decided to do it 3 times per week for the next few weeks to see how it works out. I worked with the FIT schedule for June, we do longer miles on Saturdays; and they give us a schedule to follow the rest of week. I calculated the miles by dividing the times by a 15 minute/mile pace. I cam up with week1: 10.67 miles, week2: 12 miles, week3: 13.33 miles and week4: 14 miles. If you recall from last week, I had mentioned that I wanted to keep a 20 mile base during this part of my training. So adding another morning to the beach training I cam up with for week1: 22 miles, week2: 23 miles, week3: 13.33 miles, and week4: 14 miles. I still will take Mondays and Fridays off or for some cross training, like bike riding. I am excited about this schedule, and others are too. Nothing is written in stone though, so as changes occur, I will post them here.
This morning, I did the Daniella's Journey by the Sea 5K. She was an inspirational young lady who's family coordinates this race in her honor. It was fun at John Lloyd's. Beautiful morning, about 1000 entries for runners and walkers. I did well kept a 14:19 minute per mile pace. And the picture at the top is what greeted Barbara and I as we prepared for the race.
I wish Barbara a quick recovery and for all of you that are out there training and sweating continue, you are doing great.
