So, I just finished up my last week of finals. It was pretty intense. I think this has been my hardest finals ever (I am going into my senior year). So, with that said, my running took a hit. This week I ran 5 miles on Monday (the 16th), 3 miles on Friday (the 20th), and 5 miles today (the 21st). I was supposed to run 4 miles on Wednesday, but I had tests and papers due, so I didn't. But I feel pretty good about running 5 miles twice this week. On Friday I should have done more than 3. I felt pretty crappy for the first mile, but after I turned around to come back I felt pretty good and I wish I would have gone 1 more mile. Also today was windy, so my 2.5 miles out were great, but the 2.5 on the way back sucked. Like, majorly sucked. I probably did the 2.5 out in 20 minutes and the 2.5 back took an extra 8-10 minutes. But, I finished strong and it felt great. I am really determined to keep running over the Christmas holiday and to not eat a ton of crappy food (I will eat crappy food, just not 2 thousand pounds of it). I know if I stop running for these 2 weeks my training will be thrown way off and I will struggle to make it to the marathon. Anyway, that's all I've got.
Keep Calm and MarathOn
