Week 2: Days 0 and 1

On Sunday I managed a short weight-lifting session:

3x15x50 lbs DB Presses
90 crunches + 10 lbs
3x10x25 Bent Over DB Rows
about 30 lunges
3x12x25 lbs DB flys

Today's distance was 4 miles. I woke up from working last night and got the run in about 1pm. I came in at 34 min 38 sec. just a shade over 8.30 per mile. That's not too fast, but I'm at the end of my work week and hadn't eaten a substantial meal since early yesterday evening. I'll need to do better with timing my eating so that I'm not so depleted when I wake up and run.

Mileage for this week should be 24 miles. I feel like this will be a good week of running. Six more on Wednesday, four on Thurs, and 9 on Saturday.

Sunday morning we leave for VA Beach and I'm going to try to change up my running from 4 to 3 days a week for that week. It'll also be a little different running at sea level again. So I'm going to try and get in 3 long runs. Distance should be 26 miles for the week, so I was thinking of doing two 11's one on Monday and one on Friday with 4 or 5 miler in the middle of the week. I'll have to see how it goes.

Hopefully I'll be able to get over 26 miles in. but it is vacation...so if I don't, I'm not going to beat myself up--just try to work harder the next week.
