Yesterday was the first day of our half marathon schedule. Up until this point we were in pre-training mode, which basically meant that we were running about 35 KM per week with at least one of them being a long run (10 KM or greater).According to the training schedule (see the image attached), we were suppose to do a 4.8 KM run yesterday. Well, that didn't happen. As mentioned a couple posts ago, we usually do a nice long run on Saturday, but we ended up doing a pretty short run with the dogs on the beach as the weather was glorious. That meant Sunday, which was suppose to be our first run on the actual training schedule was over-ridden with the long run which should have happened on Saturday. With me so far? Ok, now it continues down the rabbit hole.
Today (Monday), was suppose to be a day off from running; both on the old schedule and the new schedule. But Kristie is having a flu vaccination on Tuesday, and she had a bit of a reaction last time and she didn't want it to mess with our running. So what we did instead, was shift the Tuesday and Wednesday runs a day earlier. So our day off was in actuality a 7 KM run and it will be the same tomorrow. Actually, according to the schedule, we are only suppose to run a 6.8 KM route, but for some reason, we have rounded up every run to this point.
So to boil this whole blog entry into a sound bite: Why the hell did we even write this stuff down if we're not going to follow it?
