Week 5

3, 5, 3, 10.
This week certainly didn't go as smooth as I would've liked. The first short run was fine, but I forgot to turn off my watch when I got home. Thus for the medium mile run I had to just estimate based on running time and I did around 4.75 miles. The second short run didn't happen because I was on business travel and planned on doing it when I returned in the evening. I really should've known better that I would be tired. For the long run I decided I would do the Cville 10 miler route since it's a published route and I would like to do it next year. However, I was not familiar with the area and ended up getting lost / turned around. By the time I got it straigthened up, I was about 2 miles off of where I wanted to be. Thus I completed the 10 miles then walked the remaining 2 miles home. Even with all the minor issues, I'm still pushing forward and feel confident that I can complete it if I stick with my training overall.

Next Week
4, 5, 4, 11
It went up by 3 miles this week but since its just the short runs getting longer, the increase on the long run shouldn't be too bad. Maybe I'll actually do the correct 10 miler route and tack on a bonus mile on the end.
