in which i take a week off - gerlinda
well, ok, so, i didn't take a WHOLE week off, but at 15 miles total, it was the easiest running week i've had in a while. it was a "step back" week, so of course i went overboard and just stepped out entirely...
i forgive myself because i was on vacation in NYC! and, it's not like i didn't run at all. i got in a 3 miler at the gym before i left for the big apple. and i did 2 6+-mile runs on vacation. (ok, well, the first was a 3+ interrupted by a cup of coffee at starbucks and then 3+ back.) my 2nd 6+ miler was a good hour's jog in central park, which i loved. the weather was perfect; all the runners, bikers, walkers, roller bladers, and tourists were out & about. the city was gorgeous as usual, through a thicket of leafless winter trees. i ran past hot dog stands, cigarette smokers and balloon men.
fantastic.
now, back to the grind. i have to somehow run 20 miles this weekend... plus another 20 split up through the week... 40 miles in one week; that's intense.
