The biggest challenge I'm experiencing now is time. As my long runs get longer, it gets more and more difficult to find a spare hour and a half to devote to my training. Yesterday, I was supposed to go nine and a half miles but seeing as I was on the road again with the softball team, I could only fit in three. I might have to start breaking up my long runs, because getting up at 6:00am to run for an hour just won't happen for me.
On the up side, I went shopping the other day (for khakis, because that's all I get to wear...ever) and I lost a pant size! While losing weight/body mass isn't the main reason behind this training, it's definitely a delicious little side dish.
I know this post is somewhat lacking, but it just wasn't an eventful week for my goals. And it's getting to that point in the season where my brain just starts to rebel against me. Hopefully next week I'll be a little more clever and exciting.
Until then...
Even though it's not optimal, breaking the long run into parts does work too. 6:00 a.m. is a great time. You ought to try it. :) Yay for the shopping. 10/10
