I have been really bad in my maintenance. The cold has hit Montreal a little early so I wasn’t doing my long runs because I usually did them outside. I was feeling lazy and refused to go outside to do my long run. Com’on it’s cold! You can’t blame a girl for not wanting to go out there.
I then went to Vegas for four days with every intention of hitting the treadmill in my hotel. Guess how many times I did that. You guessed it, 0!
When I came home I felt disgusted in myself. I got back on my training plan and this week I actually did my long run. It was hard but I did it.
I woke up to frost on my windows. My boyfriend said something that made me smile. He said, “I am proud of you baby you are really a runner.” I accused him of being sarcastic but he said he wasn’t I took it and ran with it. Actually ran because I had to make that statement true even though it was -14ºC.
I won’t lie, it was bloody cold. Doing it though has reinforced my drive and I am back to my maintenance training program.
This week’s training at a glance (my rest week):
Mon.: 5 miles @ 9:15/mile
Wed.: 5 miles @ 9:15/mile
Sat.: 5 miles @ 9:15/mile
