Actual:

I had to reschedule my scheduled run on Tuesday to Wednesday. It was great to not just skip it and make an excuse or two as to why I didn't do it. Instead I made a plan and followed through. Even better is that I averaged a pace that is faster for me. I felt great afterwards and was so glad that I decided to reschedule instead of skipping it altogether.

 

But I did skip my run on Thursday. My right knee was bothering me due to the squats and push I gave myself on Wednesday's run. I was going to reschedule for Friday, but decided against it when it was still hurting. I made the decision to not do it and I am not mentally beating myself over it. I would rather not risk another injury right now.

Long Distance Training Run:

The long distance run did not happen this weekend. Since Patrick had the whole weekend off we spent our time working on the house. Lots of physical work building patio furniture and gardening. Not quite training, but that's okay. One weekend will not stop me and I will be back on track next week!
