Half Marathon Training: Week 4

I'm one third of the way through my training! I can't believe how fast the summer has been flying by... This week was a little crazy and hectic, but it was my last week working the full-time schedule at work so I'm hoping next week will be better!

I didn't want to run at all on Tuesday, so Joe and I decided to take the dogs for a 3 mile walk instead; however, we only made it 1.5 miles since we couldn't figure out where we were going (more on that later). I added the other 1.5 miles onto my 4 mile run that was scheduled for Wednesday morning. I ran my other 3 mile run on Friday instead of Thursday and my long run (7 miles) on Sunday instead of Saturday. I was scared my Garmin was going to die, so I saved my run after 3 miles and used Map My Run to track the rest. I love the long weekend runs, it's so exciting to up my mileage every week!

So in regards to the getting lost, apparently we have a state game land trail for running/biking very close by and I was really excited when I found out about it. It starts out near a quarry, but the trail we were on quickly turned into a swampy area with tall grass over growing the trail. We ended up walking through the quarry and not being able to figure out where we really needed to be. I think next time we're going to try entering from the other end of the trail and see how that goes instead.

On non-running related news, we went to tour the barn again where we are getting married next summer and they built this amazing ceremony space in the woods since we were there last! I can't even begin to explain how excited I am about all the stuff we are getting done for the wedding.

Aaaaand back to running. I sold a TON of nail polish to put towards a Lululemon purchase and am so thrilled with the stuff I ordered! These Speed Shorts are so stretchy and comfortable and I love how flattering they are. I'll show the other stuff that I got periodically on the blog! :)

See you next week!
