February 26 - March 2

Monday (11km)
On my own today. I did just 45 minutes on my own. I was feeling rough today - I had trouble sleeping last night and woke up feeling unwell. I wore shorts for a 45 minuter. I went from my apartment up to school to feed fish, then came back through Gibbons and back along Oxford. Pretty short.

Tuesday (10km)
I forgot long pants today, which was a mistake - it was -1C, snowy and windy (felt like -6). I was able to get through the run only because I knew we had time for only a short one.

Wednesday (16km)
I was up early to play basketball and felt tired by the time this workout rolled around. It wasn't great. Stupidly cold and the road had too much fresh snow on it. My back and hips were tired from the slipping. We did partner relays of 5x670m each, then a tempo of 3.75km. My tempo was in 13:34, so slower than last week's 5k tempo, but the effort was not bad. I am really looking forward to bare roads.

Thursday (12km)
This is turning into a low-mileage week. Did just under 52 minutes with Chris. My legs were really tired from the workout yesterday. It was not a fast pace, yet we covered the loop faster than usual - I do not know how we did it.

Friday (elliptical)
I had been scheduled for an off day yesterday, and today it caught up with me. I did under 20 minutes on the elliptical in the morning, then did some weights before school.

Saturday (15km)
I decided to go home to Brockville for the weekend. This run was 62 minutes - my usual route from home with a few slight modifications. It took me a while to get into a good pace, but I ran well to finish.

Sunday (18km)
I had forgotten my watch in London, so I borrowed one with really sensitive buttons. I lost track of my total time when I stopped to talk to someone, but it was within two minutes of 80 minutes total time. It was cold when I started, but warm by the time I finished. My pace the whole way was pretty slow - I had just had breakfast an hour before.

Total - 82km. Pretty low.
