Week 8, 9, 10 - Recaps

Longest Road to Nowhere

Yeah, yeah, so I've missed a few weeks doing detailed descriptions of every week's long runs. Freezing temps, playing chicken with cars, can only happen so often and not all runs can be exciting, which is probably a good thing.

Week 8: The main roads weren't too bad, so does that mean sticking to them, of course not! Why not get off the main roads and run through a neighborhood that looks like it hadn't been touched by plows in a week? Might as well to increase the difficulty since this was a shorter distance run for us this week. The hill on Parkview was also especially nice.

Week 9: Back to a real long run this week, 14 miles and the theme of this week's picture. This run was NOTHING like this picture! Somewhere between mile six and seven, I broke down to laughing hysterically. It was as if you'd climb up a hill, only to see an even bigger one staring you in the face. The whole time thinking to yourself that has to be it....only to repeat itself over and over again.

Week 10: This ended up being a short run, but not based on the schedule. CT had been sick all week and still decided to give it a try, but three miles out decided she had enough and we turned around and called it a day. Not exactly how we ever want to finish a run, but you can only do so much when your body says that's enough. Just have to heal and get back to it.
