Week 3 Day 4

Duration: 78 minutes

Warm up: 5 minutes

Jog: 68 minutes

Cool down: 5 minutes

It was a really good jog today.  I understand how the longer training days work now.  The last one I tried running when I should have been jogging.  Huge difference!  Today I jogged and it was awesome!  I did my warm up at 3.2mph.  When the jog started I bumped it up to 3.6mph until I hit the 22 minute mark of the work out then bumped it up to 3.7mph.  My shoe started rubbing on the back of my right heel as my sock slipped down so I paused, ditched my shoes and did the rest of the workout in socks.  Not highly recommended and I can just imagine some of you squirming right now.  LOL!  It was that or completely stop, figure something out and then keep going.  I do not have time for that today so a shoeless workout it was.  After 42 minutes of the workout I bumped it up to 3.8mph and did that until the end of the jogging portion.  Cool down was done at 3.0mph.

I did 4.71 miles (7.6km) today!  Same as the last longer day from last time but this time I felt WAY better.

My heart rate stayed at a great pace as did my breathing.  My thoughts were all positive.  I thought about my friend Lynette who mentioned she wanted me to dedicate one of my runs to her so, here you go buddy!  I also thought about my lovely niece Carley who I'm extremely proud of.  I got to see her when I was back in SK over the holidays.  She has really grown into such a wonderful young woman.  Her little girl is so sweet and I just love them both so much.  So today my run was for them as well.  I really have great people in my life.  I thought about my bestie Jen who is in Mexico right now.  I got to video chat with her this morning and it made my day to see her face.  I'd rather be there with her as the weather here has turned for the worse yet again.  Bleh.  Near the end I was thinking it was a bit long of a workout but then I reminded myself that when I do the half marathon it will be much longer than today's workout so there's that.  Haha.  Who does these things?!
