I'm late on this post, so trying to remember what all week five entailed. I was out of town at the beginning of the week, so I did my "speed" workout on the treadmill. One complaint on treadmills - I wish you could convert to meters! It was 3 x 1600, so pretty easy to stick to miles and not that big of a deal, but it would be nice. I did a nice run with my winter dog some evening Wednesday (?), Thursday (?). Who remembers?
And then, of course, we all know that the biggest snowstorm since 1993 hit! I would have loved to run outside to take in the sights of all that snow, but there was no way the sidewalk would have worked and the roads I would have run on were barely passable by two cars and since they were so treacherous it simply would not have been smart. I considered running up and down the shoveled portion of my street (it was quite pristine, really), but it was only .07 of a mile, so I would have needed to do 50 reps up and down the hill in front of my house to get in seven miles (and I'm pretty sure the neighbors would think I was weird.) But thanks again to the incompetent folks at the YMCA in Bellevue, I got another free pass. They can't find the waiver that I need to fill out, so they just let me go in for free. I try to pay, but to no avail.
Highlight of the week - my first good speed workout (treadmill holds you accountable)
Difficult part of the week - the drunk jagoff in Bellevue who made catcalls to me as I ran past (I hate that)
