Running and school......

This week was lite...ran a total of 19.1 miles with a 10.5 mile long run on Saturday. The Galloway program provided a huge breakfast after our run including eggs, pancakes, sausage, a plethora of fruit, and much more. I could not fathom eating a hot pancake after such a sauna like run. The heat and humidity were high from the moment we stepped foot on the trails near Raleigh Running Outfitters. Wish I had weighed before and after the run to see how much water was lost. Ron said that 16 oz of water is lost for every pound of weight dropped during a run. WOW!!

A multitude of excuses kept my running totals down this week; it was hot, it's the first week of school, and I have been just plain fatigued. This week in review:

• Tuesday 4.1 miles
• Wednesday 4.5 miles
• Saturday 10.5

My running schedule has changed and that will take a little getting use to. I plan to run Monday/Wednesday evenings with the Gals, Tuesday/Thursday mornings with the hubby, Friday will be a light run with Jenn, and a long run on Saturday. Sunday is a rest day. If this schedule works out here are what my totals should be this week: (35-37 miles)

• Monday - "Hilly Tuesday" 3-4 miles
• Tuesday - 3 easy miles
• Wednesday - Umstead run - 4-5 miles
• Thursday - 3 miles, Fartlek training
• Friday - 2 easy miles
• Saturday - 20 mile long run

Here's hoping!!
