July 7-July 13

It's time to get ready for New York! This week was a very slow week and not a whole lot of running for me as I rest and get ready to gear up my training. The week started off pretty well, although it was rather hot this week. The week ended without yet another long run which has become a bit more common than I would like. I did spend once again a whole lot of time in my yard on Saturday and thus no long run on Sunday. Also, the ALTA season came to an end for me as Saturday was my last match and now I will have my Saturday's back and hopefully, I can get back to some normalcy with my weekend runs. As you can see I did not run on Wednesday of this week this was due to a promise that I made to my wife. We celebrated our 3 year anniversary, so I made a promise that I would not run that day. Happy Anniversary sweetie, I enjoyed my evening with you and look forward to many many more years with you!!

Here are this week's results:

Monday: 5 mi/40:22 (speed work)
Tuesday: 4 mi/31:42 (Very very humid!)
Wednesday: Unable to Run (Anniversary)
Thursday: 6.4 mi/56:56 Ran w/Dan
Friday: REST
Saturday: ALTA(worked in the yard (all day)
Sunday: REST
Mileage=15.4

Definitely not the week that I had hoped for, but nevertheless, I did get some runs in. This week, I am hopeful for a few more miles and hopeful for a long run this week. This week, my family will be celebrating my mother's 66th birthday, so I am hoping that does not cause me to miss any runs. I have figured out that if I can just get up early every morning, I would be able to get all of my runs in. This way, I can go about my day and not have anything keep me from running. Of course, I think each week I set out to do this, but life happens. Hope everyone had a nice weekend and got some miles in. Thank God for all the rain we have had this week. Man, I think it has rained every day this week. I am not complaining!

KEEP RUNNING!
