Running Log :: OK so much for a rest day

Well after two beers and supper I just had to get out and run. It’s the last day of July and I just had to do it. It felt really rough to start but I’m finished now and glad to have done it. I kept my pace very comfortable and took the flatter run (Stonechurch between Upper Wellington and Upper Paradise). Ran 3 miles in 27:08 for a 9:03 minute mile. I just really don’t need to push it and screw up my shins again. I’ve decided that I will definitely  be running Disney again this year so have to buildup my base responsibly this year. I really need to break the 4 hour mark this year so have to stay in shape all the way to the end.

Monthly TOTAL :: 107.5 KM (66.88 miles). That isn’t bad at all for recovery. I’m quite impressed. Don’t want to do to much more than that in August either.. Maybe get it up to about 120km at the most this way when I start my training in September I’ll have a good base.

Extra Rest Day :: Smithwick’s

Shins were a bit sore yesterday and this morning. They feel good now but figure I’d give them the extra day off. I went back a day early after the long run and that wasn’t the best idea. I don’t need the shin splints again so we are just going to play it smart. I am a month away from the beginning of my 18 week buildup to Disney so just play it smart. Hoping to skydive tomorrow so the rest won’t hurt me. So instead I’m going to just sit back and enjoy my pint of Smithwick’s.
