I am happy with my week! I missed a run on tuesday - which I regret. I tried to make up for it by running a little longer on friday. Saturday I was glad for the break because my ankle was bothering me and was clicking a lot. Even so, my distance run went great today. I just focused on running my natural pace and even though I had a horrible cramp for miles 2, 7, and 8 . . . I ended up with 7:45 pace on a course that included some semi-severe hills throughout.
I ran in my vibrams all week, including during my tempo run. I realized - what we have been doing is not a tempo run ... its actually called a fartlek. SO, my fartlek went really well this week. I did 60-30-60-30-60-30-60-30-60 to equal a total of 14 minutes in addition to the 15 min warm up and cool down. I felt in control the whole time and even felt like vomiting at one point - which is a good sign of hard work. I got some bare-footing in this week and really enjoyed it. I want to start adding it into my day - maybe it can be my own 10 min morning run.
I am mostly happy with what I have been eating - its great to be at home with a stocked fridge and pantry. I made an amazing avocado salad this week with sauteed almonds & cranberry raisins. I also warmed the avocado for a bit last minute in the pan with some oregano, salt and pepper thrown in and it was kind of AWESOME. It was a big hit over here. My mom loved it. I also donated all my books to the used book store in ferndale, got some store credit, and picked out two veggie cook books in return. Looking forward to cooking some new fun meals.
