Training Summary, Week 2

Week 2 Training Summary:
Total runs done: 3
Total miles: 7.5
Cross-training: Swam 1600 yards

Challenges this week:
-Fuel/Nutrition: continuing to figure this out, have a feeling this will be an ongoing challenge.
-Cross-training.  Better this week, but once a week still is not good enough.
-Need to find new/better socks to wear.
-Recovery- work on a after-run better stretching routine
-Mental toughness.  I'm too easy on myself and give in to the littlest thing too quickly.  Need to push through and push myself.

Successes this week:
-Got all 3 training runs in, 2 of them outside.
-Starting to run more and more each time.  While this is a success, I'm also calling it a challenge as I don't feel like it's enough yet.  I should be doing more.

Misc:
-The was a fun article in Sunday's Daily Herald about RunDisney

-My running shoes have been officially baptized.  On Tuesday, part of the path I was on was flooded from melting snow.  I had no choice but to run through it, as going around would result in going into a snow pile or a lake.  My shoes, socks, and pants got soaked. Went around the path a second time, got even more soaked.  Had to call it a day after that- my shoes were so wet and heavy, they felt like lead bricks on my feet, and was feeling a blister coming on from the wet sock.  It took two days for my shoes to dry out.

-Got a pedicure on Saturday, the leg and foot massage they do is never long enough.

Neon orange polish for Spring and for the "girl on fire".
Will my feet still look as pretty after 35 weeks of half marathon training?

-Made homemade pizza on Sunday, with homemade dough for the pizza crust for the first time.  Success! 

Tomato, basil, and mozzarella

Spinach, feta, and kalamata olive
Yes, this has suddenly become a foodie blog.
