It's my fault that I cannot remember all the little details about last week's training because I waited too long to post this blog. Part of the reason for the delay is I split my time between my place and my girlfriend's condo and last week was one of those times when it was more 70-30 than 50-50 her place.
I do recall that on Tuesday we did our tempo run and then got together for post-speed workout drinks and food. Even though it made for a later evening than I had planned, I felt it was important to bond with the other runners.
On Thursday Adrian, Tracey and I met for quarter mile repeats at the track behind the Water Tower Mall. It's a little known track that is situated behind several tall buildings such that in the evening, you are seldom if ever in direct sunlight.
Saturday's LR was uneventful for me, though my girlfriend had an adventure. Our friend Ginger suffered an odd injury -- she slipped and cut her lip and face up a bit. It was at the 7th mile of a 9 mile run and my SigOther asked "would you like me to stay with you?"
Even though the group leader did everything by the book and stayed with Ginger the entire time, she still took the SigOther up on her offer. My girlfriend was a little upset because she was looking forward to completing the longest distance of her life at that point.
I had felt some guilt in week three because I cut some runs short, so I know exactly how she feels. I did what I could to convince her that those two miles won't come back to haunt her as long as she gets in all her runs this week and makes it to whatever distance we are doing this Saturday.
Still, I was really proud of her for being upset at not finishing her mileage.
