CIM Training Week 3: Day 7
With today's 15-miler, CIM Training Week 3 is complete. I slowed down a lot early on with the hopes that it'd make a difference at the end. I still felt a lot of fatigue, but I think overall it helped.
Monday: Rest
Tuesday: 3 miles
Wednesday: 5 miles
Thursday: 3 miles
Friday: Rest
Saturday: 6 miles
Sunday: 15 miles
Total: 32 miles
To start, it was 47 degrees outside. My original intent was to get out the door by 4:30, but I woke up without an alarm at 3am. I foolishly thought I'd wait in bed until time to get up, and ended up falling back asleep. In the end, I left at 5am.

- 08:52:14: Today's going to be my first cold run of the year. It's almost 9am and 42 degrees outside. I think a long sleeve tech shirt is in order.
- 09:04:54: I just succeeded in putting off my run. Off to the Farmer's Market instead. Thanks, Hal Higdon!
- 09:14:50: Off to the farmer's market, back for my run in a little while.
- 12:26:46: I love the Dollar Tree sometimes! Found the perfect Flip Cam pouch that also holds the Pre & sits TIGHT on my fanny pack's waist belt!
- 12:27:27: That frees up the fanny pack's sleeve for gel & Cytomax packs.

CIM Training Week 3, Day 6: 6 miles
Today was a scheduled 6-miler, which I had planned on doing late in the morning. At around 9am, as luck would have it, Hal Higdon posted to his Facebook page about how he was debating on taking a bike ride or going down to the Farmers Market.
Farmers Market, I thought, that's a great idea! Nothing like a little bit of good old fashioned procrastination to start a morning. So I brought it up to my wife, who said yes without a moment's hesitation.
We spent a good amount of time there, got some veggies, some local honey, and hit the Dollar Tree. By the time I got back and started running, it was almost 2pm. It was actually WARM! My running suffered as a result of it being 70 degrees, combined with going out too fast, once again.

Mile 6: 10:32
6 miles, 1:01:05, 10:11/mi average, 628 calories burned
Tomorrow's a scheduled 15-miler. I have a choice, I can either run it in the morning before church, or in the afternoon in lieu of a child's birthday party. If I run in the morning, I have to get out the door around 4:30am, since I need to be at church by 9! That would give me the buffer I need in case I slow down. If I run in the afternoon, it's a lot warmer (today it was 70) and I'll be dropping the family off at the party, running, then picking them up after. Not the best logistical thing in the world.
So we'll see how my body gets up. I much prefer the cool weather in the morning, but my body doesn't like to get up that early these days. Let us also not forget that it's 11:15pm at present! So we'll see how it goes.
