This Week in Running: On the Road Again

This week saw a gradual return to what would be a normal running schedule for me. I ran three times in the week, and I ran with other people for the first time since my running privileges were restored. I spent a lot of time in snow and on hills this week. Each run had some challenging hills, and each run required me to navigate some fairly deep snow. Today’s run was the big test, as I headed out for four miles, ultimately stretching the distance to five miles. I ran a bit slower than my normal training pace, but the snow on the course made for a good workout.

January 4: 2.5 miles, 25:52

January 6: 2.05 miles, 21:02

January 9: 5 miles, 59:04

Also this morning, I attended team leader training for Borgess Run Camp. I am hoping to be a team leader for half marathon training. In my perfect world, I’ll be doing that in either the 10:00/mile or 10:30/mile pace group. Given that I’m going to be attending Run Camp anyway, it made sense for me to consider being a team leader. I’m looking forward to it, and hope that my team would include some friends as well as some folks I haven’t yet met.
