Day 40 - Gotta Run

So after a crazy week of family, work and running I didn't have much time to blog. I do however want you all to know I haven't missed a day yet. Even today when I thought I wasn't gonna get a chance to do my training, I forced myself to do my run when I got home from our family outing this evening at 8pm. First time running so late at night, but since I was on the treadmill, it wasn't so bad. I knew I had to run as I was starting to tighten up and needed to loosen the muscles get my stretching in and feel the burn.
I ran my 4miles slowly in 40mins. My watch doesn't work inside in the basement so I only have time and distance to share with you today. Really glad I got my run in. After such a big week I need lots of sleep now over the next two night to re-energize for my long run on Sunday.

  1. Hi Laura, yes, you do and will need your sleep. Even more as you increase your mileage.
    Again, I add in here that it doesn't hurt to take a day off if you are feeling sluggish. Your body and muscles do need some downtime to replace the cells in your muscles and you need downtime for a mental rest. You don't want to get injured, now do you?
    Cheers, Dad
