five weeks out and playing catch up!

i've slacked....bt (if any of you went to college with leah z. and i, you'd know our short cut for "big time" *sigh* the good old days....)

here's a super quick recap from last week.

mon (10.12) - run on my own. i think it was about 5 miles.

tues (10.13) - run in the morning with the gals, about 7.5 miles

wed (10.14) - workout. 12 x 800 at goal 10k pace, 200 jog recovery. i hit them all in the range of 3:06 - 3:10 (technically 3:10 was my goal) with most being 3:08. 9ish miles

thur (10.15) - quick turnaround for me but i had to run in the morning. very little sleep and sore legs from the night before. 7 miles with kris. then it was off to the kc marathon expo where andrew and i were hoping to sell a bunch of out-of-season stuff to help clear out the two big river stores. first day...success!

fri (10.16) - felt TERRIBLE. i guess it wasn't a big surprise here. driving to kc (towing a trailer, making cruise control out of the question) then unpacking in a mad flurry, then standing for another 5 or so hours working the booth was a really really LONG day. i forced myself out the door, but just ran 2 miles (yes, only two) and came back and did a lot of streching. the expo ran 10a - 9p and then we had to pack everything up. yes, after 9p. thank goodness for my dad coming over in the afternoon to help us out and then staying until the bitter end to help us pack up the uhaul. the expo = success, my running = not going so well.....

sat (10.17) - drive back from kc, unload everything, return the trailer, etc, etc, etc. i was finally done around 6p. there was no way i was going to run.

sun (10.18) - was i crazy for still running the go! st. louis 10k? probably. but i did anyway. i felt terrible, of course. but i managed to fight it out and run 40:39 which is about 6:33 per mile pace. a little sad when you realize i ran a 15k at 6:37's. yikes. i just have to try to pull myself back together and get back on the right track for the marathon. 11 for the day with a long warm up and cool down.

weekly mileage: 41 miles (yikes....)

shoes:
mizuno inspire = 97 miles
brooks trance = 367 miles
nike lunar glide = 32 miles
