RPE: 7, 0
Comments: Thursday's 3 miler was the hardest run yet. I can only gather that is because I had pushed myself for three days straight. I was glad for the rest day on Friday before the 5 miler on Saturday.
Mike and I were irresponsible Friday night and stayed up late (til 2 am) with friends. Plus Kate (and therefore we) had a hard night sleeping at someone else's house. We didn't do our five mile run on Saturday. On the one hand I feel bad about that, but I'm not going to let it discourage me. On the other hand, it might be a good thing to have a few more shorter runs to train my cardiovascular and muscular systems for the distance runs to come. I am repeating week one (3,4,3,5) instead of moving on to week two.

while training for my marathon, the long weekend runs were the hardest. anything longer than 5 miles was mentally hard!
i would have skipped it too if i had stayed up that late and had a child not sleeping well. that's the challenge with little ones!
it's okay to have days like that and your awesome to not let it discourage you! keep it up!
