Daily Splits

• Wednesday: –
• Thursday: –         (The night of the Tornado and storms and camping in the basement)
• Friday: –          (Dressed to run in the evening, but the husband came home late)
• Saturday: 6.2 miles of group run with GFA. 3:1 for the initial 3 miles, and 2:1 for the other 3. 

Odds and Ends

• Kidlet1(5) stayed home for the first half of the week from a badly sprained ankle.
• First time exercising at those weird night hours
• I like 2:1 much better than 3:1, even if my 2:1 is much slower than everyone else in my pace group. I’m actually thinking of using 1:1 for the first half when the distances get 10m+
• I’m a wimp/lazy for strength training
• Too much work should not be an excuse for not running/training.
• I’m going to add one day of spin class + weights (Monday) and one day of swim + weights (Wednesday) from next week.
