week 2

Monday, Day 5 - 3 miles
  • Where: loop to cemetery and back
  • Time: 40ish
  • Difficulty: 6
  • Notes: i took the loop counter-clockwise so the climb up the cemetery was gradual and not fun and never ending...
Wednesday, Day 6 - 4 miles
  • Where: adidas trail
  • Time: 40:35 pace 10:08
  • Difficulty: 6
  • Notes: i hate this trail. on average it's flat but that just means it's constantly going up and down by small degrees. i hate the bark chips that get in my shoes and poke me or give me blisters. i hate the narrow extended path where people only look back instead of moving when you say "on your right". but at least it has a water fountain (which i did take advantage of at the end of mile 3). i had pain in the back of my calf for most of the last half. i really need to figure out what's wrong with it. i try to stretch it more than the other side and it seems to help slightly.
    i think i'll be looking for a different training program. i think this one is going too fast for me. and it's not like i have to be ready for a half by a certain time. i don't mind running four times a week but i have a feeling i won't like it so much when i start all my cross training classes.
Thursday, Day 7 - 3 miles
  • Where: cemetery loop
  • Time: ? forgot to time
  • Difficulty: 4
  • Notes: pretty uneventful. i took the route clockwise so the biggest hill came first. my right calf began hurting when i first entered the cemetery and kept hurting until i got home, though it wasn't constant. my left achilles also hurt at the beginning but stopped after about the first mile.
Saturday, Day 8 - 5 miles
  • Where: loop by my mom's house
  • Time: 48:40 pace 9:43
  • Difficulty: 3
  • Notes: i was so surprised i didn't have problems with this. i guess adding a mile a week is no big deal. i did still have problems with my calf though :(
Cross-Training:
Monday - 45 minutes yoga
Tuesday - 30 minutes pilates
Friday - does cleaning count?

Total Miles:
week - 15
all -28.25
