Fast Forward to Day 20

after battling fatigue and super high humidity/heats, I decided what I might need was some time off. After a few days the cause of the fatigue became obvious; I have a summer cold. Nasty one. So I did what any smart person would do; I went camping. That was actually fairly restful mentally and a great change of scenery :)

Now it is day 20 and I did a good 5 km run this morning. Schedule for tomorrow is a 5 k Race; I actually planned to do a 5 km in Digby today but am not; could do a 5 km race in Halifax tomorrow but again, Im not. Just not ready for it; still struggling with the cold. But at least I got out again.

Nasty tough ball hockey game last night with lots of lasting soreness. We were short-staffed lol so lots of shifts. WHich works out really well. Ankle concerns the most; not obvious how it got so sore so Im not sure how long it will take to feel better.

Plan for tomorrow is a nice easy 8 km which should be done as early as possible :)

Take 2 Day 12 of 84

got in 5 km this morning before it was too hot although it was 19 C and 97% Humidity. It was misting and cooler but humid and sweaty. The air is hard to breath when its that wet ;)

Have a ball hockey game tonight - another hour of running. Going to go ride the horse afterwards.
:)

Take 2 Days 9, 10, 11 of 84

Summer hours and Scott working so much is taking a toll on my running :( Between him not being here and the kids being here, and the hot muggy weather, I am barely getting out running at all. :(

Tuesday was a rest day. Not planned to be but no time.
Wednesday got up early and ran a tempo run in the morning. Going to have to do that at the track or the TCT because hills here make it way too hard to keep a consistent pace. Tempo run was not very nice.

Thursday was another rest day. Scott was home for half an hour but it was muggy and gross and I didnt go out :(

May get out Friday morning (day 12) :(

Take 2: Day 8 of 84

Since long run Sunday became Long Run Monday, got up at ass crack of dawn to run the scheduled 8 km. It wasnt hot (19 C) but humidity was 100%. SHEEIT. The air felt wet. Did a familiar 8 km route which wasnt bad but felt absolutely awful at about 6.5 km in. Dont know how I kept going. Ugh humidity sucks.


Ball hockey in the evening for 50 minutes.

Take 2: Day 6/7 of 84

weekend = Rest. Busy with the picking up of the horse, the horse show, the visiting of the horse. So no running was to be had.

Take 2 Day 4/5 of 84

Thursday I made into a rest day (busy week!) and Friday became an easy 3 miles day. Did it on the roads out here. Hot. LOVE hot. Except for when Im running.

Take 2 Day 3 of 84

Was a big day :)
Rained and I thought I could totally wait it out but then the skies opened up so I went to the gym and did 3 miles on the treadmill. THAT SUCKS.
Then since Day 3 is supposed to be interval day I went and did those while Taylor was at soccer; again avoiding the rain but not the humidity.
Warmed up for a km then Did 5 X 400 m intervals at about 5:30 minutes/km average. It was actually a nice change but hard :)cooled off for a km.

Big day.
