Skipped to #11

That's right I skipped training run #10 to #11 and I feel okay about it. Okay, I really don't but that's because I'm finding out just how obsessive I am about my training plans. It's not like I'm being watched or scored on how many of these runs I do or anything, but I still feel like it's not okay to skip runs.

On Saturday when I woke up I decided that I wasn't interested in running and decided to do my long run on Sunday - before heading off to worship service. I have to admit that I wasn't feeling terribly good into my run on Sunday, but managed to do it so that was a good thing.

Woke up tired on Monday and found that Tuesday I was feeling even more tired and unmotivated. I guess that's when you know it's time for a rest. So two days of rest and I'm all GOOD!

I ran the same route as on Sunday and ran it a couple of minutes faster even. The best part is that I had a very brief rest at the turn around - just long enough to call  home and let Tom know where I was. When I reached 21st Avenue and saw that I might be able to beat my previous time I started to feel a bit more energized and just kept on plugging along at pretty good clip.

So my stats for today:

Activity:  Run
Type of Run:  Easy
Distance:  4 mi
Actual Distance:  4:04 mi
Temp:  34F
Goal Pace:  14:26
Actual Pace:  12:26

So, really - since I started this current training plan I have been on track, not missing any run or breaking up a run to make it work with my schedule. Skipping ONE run should send me over the edge! I'm still ahead of Pace Bunny - but only slightly.
