Well another week is in the past. I am still training for the big event. But it is wearing me down.
I ran 30.56 miles last Monday. It was hot, hot , hot my last 4 miles. I had to ask for water again about 4.5 miles from home. A guy was working on his hedge and he let me soak my head down and cool off and fill my water bottles up at his outside faucet and hose. I was still trying to maintain my 10 minute jog and 5 minute walk. But it was mostly walking the last three miles.
My time for the run was 7 hours and 15 minutes.
Tuesday was a 15 mile day but I didn't quite make that amount. I ran 10.6 miles in the afternoon and felt OK.
Then on Thursday I ran 6 miles. Felt great for the training run.
But Friday,,, I just did not feel like running one step..
So I cut and stacked wood for the winter for 5 hours in the afternoon. I think with that amount of time I got a good workout.
Then on Saturday I walked and jogged about 6 miles.
So all was not lost by not running.
The weather has been great. It gets warm in the afternoon but the mornings are OK.
