Tuesday, October 2, 2012 - 3 miles (4.86 km) I attempted to run at the waterfront, which always makes for a scenic run but of course there was construction, I gave up and headed home to run in the neighbourhood. I did the runner's core workout after this run.
Wednesday, October 3, 2012 - 5 miles (8.24 km) Up early for this run, but of course I did not give myself quite enough time. This was my first increase in mileage mid-week in the last few weeks. I love longer runs and this was great, but with shorter days this may become more difficult.
Thursday, October 4, 2012 - 3 miles (4.86 km) I was feeling really tired today and debated a rest day but headed out, but sadly headed out at the exact moment it started pouring rain. Oh well had I gone before work like I originally planned it would not have been a rainy run. Runner's core workout after this run as well, so far seems effective.
Friday, October 5, 2012 - Rest and yes the Runner's Core Workout is producing results, but wow do several abdominal muscles hurt.
Saturday, October 6, 2012 - 9 miles (14.52 km) Started off nice and sunny, I was good at pacing myself and brought liquids along with me to stay hydrated. On my way back it hailed, now hail is never pleasant but when wearing capris and a t-shirt and running it is very unpleasant and hurts. After the hail came rain. These long runs always seem attract bad weather, but on the bright side I felt great afterwards. Only 4 more miles until I reach my goal of 13.1!
Sunday, October 7, 2012 - I am counting baking and walking home from dinner as cross training. Baking a pumpkin cheesecake for Thanksgiving, pumpkin poppers and making some cranberry sauce is a fair amount of work, it must count. I would have made an effort for real cross-training but I ran out of hours in the day.
Only 5 more weeks until race day!
