#Yearof40 Week 8

#Yearof40 Week 8's post is short and sweet.  I had to complete my long run today (Sunday) and I'm beat.  So this week, I give you a quick summary and a few pictures.

Monday: No exercise.

Tuesday:  Clearly "National Treadmill at the Y Day."  Every single 'mill was taken when I got to the Y at 8:15 PM!  So .9 miles on the elliptical while waiting and then a quick 2 miles on the treadmill.  Elliptical is NOT my thing.  Elliptical: 0.9 miles at 11:40 pace.  Treadmill: 2.0 miles in 22:35 at 11:17 pace.

Wednesday: No exercise

Thursday: Treadmill run.  3.5 miles at 11:23 pace.  Planned on 4 miles but Little Mister announced that he was starving and ready to go home.  

Friday: Fuel time!!!

Saturday:  Every intention of completing my long run today.  Mother Nature waged war and won the battle at 5 miles.  It was 36 degrees and all 4 of my layers were soaked through, my hair was dripping and water was running off the bill of my hat.  5 miles in 57:16 at 11:27 pace.

Sunday:  Because Mother Nature forgot to take her meds, Sunday was sunny and 60 degrees.  I had a fantastic run.  I think my best pace yet.  12.3 miles in 2:18:32 at 11:16 pace.
