Life is busy…

The last few weeks have been crazy busy!  Going back to about the time of my last blog post my schedule went something like this:

The first weekend in May, friends from Germany were in DC early for Erinn’s and Mike’s wedding.  I did manage a 6ish mile run that Saturday with Bennett though, and it felt good.

Then, that first full week in May, Wednesday evening through Sunday we were in Raleigh for Erinn’s and Mike’s wedding.  I fit in two 3 mile runs in earlier in the week in DC, and I totally meant to run in Raleigh, but I was too tired and we were too busy.

Last week my schedule was all messed up by a grantee meeting for work Wednesday through Friday.  I lost my work from home day Wednesday, but got home early Friday making an ok trade off.  I managed to run three times, including 10 miles on the treadmill Friday afternoon after the conference ended.  My Monday run of that week, 4 miles, left my left leg feeling odd; so I took Tuesday as a rest day.  It felt ok though during 6 miles Wednesday evening so who knows what was going on…

This past weekend we were back in NC, this time in Highpoint/Greensboro, for another wedding.  No running which made the opportunity for that 10 miles on the treadmill so much more exciting than running 10 miles on the treadmill ever actually is.

This is the first week I’m hoping to get in a normal amount of running, which for me, currently without a specific race to train for, means 5 days a week of running (plus lifting yuck) totaling around 28 miles give or take a few.  So far I’m on track with a 4 mile run Tuesday, 6 miles yesterday, and another 4 miles today.  I think my current holding pattern of running will be something like three 4 mile runs, a 6 mile run, and a 10 mile run, with some of those runs easy and some tempo or hills.
