A week ago or so, I told you about how I was beginning a training program designed specifically for me.  I was a tad apprehensive about this.  I was a HH (Hal Hidgon) gal through and through and had never had this kind of a one on one with my training.

All in all, it has been okay.

I can pull up a calendar and see everything pending for the week/month and I get an email each day reminding me what it is I am supposed to be doing.

That’s nice!

Yesterday, I was supposed to run a 6 mile tempo run.  I had just run one of those the day before (Saturday) and he wanted me to do it again.  Not a problem.  Kinda.

Last week, I ended up running a total of 52 miles.  For me, that is a lot.

Sunday morning’s are a little busy at our house what with breakfast and trying to fit a run in before church.  I hurried around and left the house for my run.

I ran .50 miles and called it a day.

Some days, it’s just not worth it.  Yesterday was that day.

Now, we are leaving for Colorado the end of this week.  That means 2 days of sitting in the car.  That means, two days of missed training runs.

That is not good.

I looked at my training schedule for the week.

This week is a fall back week.  Light mileage.  My mileage total for the week is only 40 miles!  Sweet!  So, I looked at MFH’s (My Favorite Husband) and my schedule before we left for our trip and decided that my coach and I were going to have to compromise on how I was going to get these 40 miles run.

He is not going to be very happy with me but here it is:

Today, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday…each one of these days I am going to run 10 miles.  Last time I checked (and you all know that math is not my strongest subject) 4 X 10 = 40.

40 miles in four days instead of seven.

I don’t see the problem.  Do you?
