Almost the End to a Crazy week!

Like I said in my last post, my first test of the semester is tomorrow so this week has been very very busy with studying! I have stayed on track with my training despite the constant studying. Tomorrow I will run my long run for the week (after the test) but this week instead of doing 8 miles, I will probably just do 5. This week is a maintenance week for me since I am two weeks ahead of schedule after I switched race dates. I think this is coming at a good time. I am feeling pretty tired lately, probably because of my lack of sleep and my brain just being tired from studying. I hope that next week I can get things back to normal and have a better energy level~!Well in other news, I am officially going to Spring Break 2012 in Panama City Beach Florida with 12 of my physical therapy friends. I am really bummed Zach cannot make the trip, its going to be so much fun and it would be better if he were there. We are leaving February 25th which is only two weeks away! So I am really nervous that I have to get in a bathing suit in two weeks. I have not yet decided on what I am going to do about running while I am down in Florida. I really do not want to take a whole week off, but I will have to take a few off for sure due to the situation. The resort that we are staying at has a workout room but I know I am not going to feel like running while I am on vacation. Maybe it will be a good break for me. I think I am really going to work my butt off until vacation and take a few days off as a reward! I hope to blog again sometime this weekend. I hope my test goes okay tomorrow!

Alumni Weekend

This was a very busy weekend for me! I had a great time with my Gannon basketball alumni. I am also happy to report that my team won in the alumni game (those older players had no chance). It was really nice to reconnect with some people that I have not seen in a few years. Training wise, I was able to complete my long run for the week on Friday. It was sunny and about 40 degrees so I suited up and decided to run outside. I ran 7 miles outside and had one of the best runs that I have had so far this training. It took me about 1 hour and 6 min to complete the run. During the run, my knees did feel a little sore but i was really surprised how good I felt afterwards. I really didn't get too sore and I just felt really good overall after I was done. A good run like that is really a good motivator to keep up the training. I feel like my hard work is paying off when I get done with a difficult run like that. This week will be another challenge and I am looking forward to it! I hope that I can keep this up! I am a little nervous that I wont have as much time this week to train. I have a test on Friday so this will be the first week that I am super busy. Hope I can handle it!
