Running recap week three

The damn family got in the way.... or at least that is the excuse I'm using for not completing my long run this week.

Lucy and I got out and logged 4 miles on Thanksgiving day, and I was feeling so good about the training. Then Friday we went to the zoo and walk around for hours, then we went to the parade of lights and walked and stood some more. Saturday morning I was tired and just not feeling up to the 7 miles I was supposed to run. I'm sure had it been just a normal Saturday, I would have sucked it up at some point during the day and gotten out and done it, but alas the in laws were around and I decided to forgo the run for that day.

I am back on track this week and plan to do 8 miles I think on Saturday. I met up with a girl today and we are going to try to motivate each other. We train pretty differently so I don't think we'll be able to run much together, but we think just being able to set up times to meet up and then go our separate ways will at least help get us there.

Also, to avoid the family holiday skip, I have tentatively set up a 12 mile run with a girl from high school when I'm in Minnesota for the christmas break. Let me tell you how much I'm looking forward to THAT run.
