Neither hail, nor sleet, nor snow
It didn't hail yesterday, but the other two I had covered. I walked Phoebe prior to running and the weather was dry. By the time I had changed for running and was outside there were flakes falling from the sky. I persisted none-the-less and ran just short of two hours. The last half hour of running the snow got pretty serious. My hands got really cold so I decided to head to the barn, rather than finishing the run as planned. I was pretty wet, head to toe. I managed to step in a puddle towards the finish of the running. I ran twice around Sugarhouse Park. There were some people running and walking to end polio. I was running the opposite direction that they were going. We were all getting wet together. The first time around the park, some people shouted at me. I didn't recognize them but sort of waved. The next time around I was on the same side of the road as everyone else and recognized two of the runners. We said hi and continued on our way! Mason told me that if I was training for a half-marathon I should be running five days a week, maybe six. I didn't make it five days, but four. It is a new week for running. We'll see what I can do. May first is looming large on the horizon.

The more running the better usually, but I generally run every other day so only 3 or 4 days a week. That's what I did leading up to my half marathon last November, and I felt good in that one until the last 3 miles or so. Those miles were getting difficult, but definitely not impossible.
ReplyDeleteYour weather report makes me appreciate the minor heat wave we've been having around here for most of the past month!
I think your weekend long runs are more important than the number of days a week you run. I think your training approach has been solid.
