..week 2 complete!

So here we are again! Monday and I'm shaming myself into what I have and haven't done with regards training. Last weeks training...was a little mixed. I was really in a strange mood as to what to do and when to do it. I know I have a plan but I'm finding it hard to get up in the mornings and run in the evenings. Any way less moaning and more reporting!

Monday: Should have been 4 miles easy (didn't). Fail
Tuesday: Should have been rest. Was 5 miles tempo intervals (Wed training). Success?
Wednesday: Re: above
Thursday: 4 miles steady state. Complete (3.5)!
Friday: Rest
Saturday: 6 miles (6.3 miles) at slow pace
Sunday: Rest

So there we have it! I did miss out on one set of training which I shouldn't have. Here come the excuses....

1) I cycle a lot (10 miles a day at least). So my legs are tired....
2) It's dark in the morning. Bad excuse...
3) I'm tired in the morning...still not a good excuse
4) It's dark at night...again I need to fix this.
5) I'm tired at night.

So no. I need to get my week runs in check. I have lots of options I just need to actually stick with them. Treadmill running bores me senseless but I have a perfectly good track outside (Linford Christie) and the large wormwood scrubs. I have reflector gear I can use at night and the street lights are really bright. Next goal is to get my feet out the door during the week and not rely on the treadmill to pound the miles.

Total counts:
Run: 14.84 miles 2 hours and 13 minutes
Cycle: 50 miles

Goal this week. An outdoor midweek run! Let's do it!
