Week Ending March 10, 2012

This was one of the worst weeks I have had in a long time. Between being very tired and getting ready to go to the Florida Keys, I was very stressed out and did not run much. What can be so stressful about going scuba diving in the Florida Keys? I am taking 11 high school students on a spring break trip. I am very organized, have the trip well planned, and did not think I had anything to stress about. Apparently just thinking about the trip and wondering if I checked all details stressed me out. Each day this week I came home from work and had to crash. I wanted to run, but was exhausted and took a nap instead. I ran 12.25 miles on Monday and did not run again until Saturday. My thought process on Saturday was “I might as well go hard because I haven’t run in four days and probably won’t run much next week.” So I ran 10 x 3:00 uphill intervals. With warm-up and cool-down, this was a 14.5 mile day. 27 miles for the week.
