Hey there! I hope you all had a great week. Last week I wrote about how I did not feel well. I didn’t get a cold and I feel so much better. Maybe I just needed to rest? I have a race in two weeks and I absolutely cannot get sick.
MONDAY: 4.01 MILES
I don’t remember too much about this run. I just know I did run.
WEDNESDAY: 4.33 miles
I wanted to do 10×400 intervals with 400m recovery. I did 8 and each recovery was less than 1/4 mile. Felt good but got tired towards the end. This rarely happens but my Garmin showed the mileage as the treadmill. I was actually shocked.
THURSDAY: 1.24 MILES
It was not my day at the gym. I wanted to run 4 miles but got to the gym late. I started watching “Narcos Mexico” but honestly could not even get excited about it. Also, I need to wake up earlier since I’ve noticed that it takes me a little bit longer to get out of the house.
Two more weeks till the Publix Atlanta Half Marathon. I am excited but also nervous about it. While I am not 100% ready/trained for it, I am more ready for it than I was for the Detroit Free Press Half Marathon. The goal is to finish it. It will be state #43 for me.
Overall not my best week. Since I didn’t do a long run this weekend, the plan is to do it tomorrow morning. A little off schedule but that is OK. Also, I have an appointment with my agent to see a house so cross your fingers that it goes well.
How was your week? Anyone planning to go to Atlanta to spectate the Olympic Trials and/or run the half or marathon? A friend of mine was planning to go and share the hotel cost but now cannot make it anymore. Let me know if you want to share a room.
Linking up with Kim and Deborah for the Weekly Run Down.

I hope it goes well with the house viewing! Sounds exciting!
Yes, go for the Atlanta half-marathon, even if you don’t feel properly trained. You can always do walk/run intervals if needed.
Have fun with your long run!
·
I did not like the house at all. Ugh! I don’t understand how some sellers don’t clean and/or fix it up a little before showing it to potential buyers. Maybe I am too picky but I am looking for a house that needs minimal or no work done to it. I will make sure to have a great experience in Atlanta!
·
That’s exciting that you are planning to do the half in Atlanta! I think it will be a nice place to run. Hope the house viewing is successful!
·
I am excited and cannot wait. Ugh, the house viewing did not go well. It needed a lot of work and I am not willing to do that. Oh well, just keep on looking.
·
Yay, a good week of running! I roll my eyes at my Garmin/treadmill differences and just go by what the treadmill says. State 43 is a big deal. Hope you have a good run today and that the house viewing goes well.
·
I am the opposite. I go by what my watch says. Before I had a foot pod, I would enter my runs manually on the app. Now I just let it sync to the app.
·
Sounds like a much better week for you! Onward! Thanks for linking up
·
Thanks!
·
Good luck at the half! Should be a fun weekend!
·
I know! I hope I get a chance to meet you. When are you getting there? I get in Friday morning about 10am and leaving Sunday at 7pm.
·
Sorry your friend isn’t able to make Atlanta. That’s disappointing. I am sure next week will be a better week for you.
Definitely crossing my fingers for a good showing! Keep us posted!
·
I am going to cancel my hotel reservation and share a room with another runner that is also going to Atlanta. At least now the hotel cost won’t be too much and I won’t be alone the whole weekend. I don’t mind being alone but sometimes it is nice to have some company.
·
I think I missed that you are running Atlanta. Even without being fully trained for the half, I’m sure the whole trip will be fun!
·
I think it will be. Spectating the Olympic Trials is something I’ve been wanting to do so now I get to do that and run a half marathon.
·
I didn’t know you were doing the Atlanta half. So cool! I have to admit, I am somewhat jealous. I have friends going to the race too. Have fun!
·
Thanks, Laurie! It should be a fun weekend.
·
I hope the house is great AND you can find a roomate. Alas I have done GA, plus can’t get away right now anyway (not to mention the airfare would kill me at this late date!).
I sometimes get really, really run down, and all I need is a bit more rest. Sounds like that’s what happened to you!
·
Thumbs down to the house. I did not like it at all. It needs a lot of work and I am not willing to do that. Minor things yes but nothing major. I did find someone else to share a room with. I am going to cancel my reservation and share a room with someone else.
·
I am sorry about the house. At some point, with any house, work will have to be done.
That’s great that you find someone to enjoy the race with! I hope you have a fantastic time!
·
Hope your long run went well (yesterday?). House hunting is fun, but stressful! Our son made an offer on a condo last week…so the hunt is over, now it’s all the other “stuff” to sort through LOL
·
Congrats to your son! House hunting is stressful and I am getting tired of it. Sometimes I just want to buy a new construction house and get what I want but those houses are out in the suburbs. I am not willing to move out there since I prefer to live in the city.
·
House hunting is definitely stressful. I hope it went well yesterday!
·
Thumbs down. I will need to keep looking.
·
Good luck with the house viewing!
·
Thumbs down. I did not like it at all. Back to looking.
·
whoah! my garmin and the treadmill are NEVER the same! that’s like a once in a lifetime thing! haha!
maybe you were just tired! our bodies are odd; just when we think we know them, something else happens!
excited to hear about the house hunting!! we are thinking about a new place too…
·
That never happens to me either so that is why I was shocked when I saw it. How exciting you are house hunting too! Stressful but exciting too.
·
Glad to see you’re getting some miles in again. I’m sure you’ll do fine at your half–you’ll be fine!
·
Thanks, Wendy! I keep telling myself that because I want to be positive but at the same time we also doubt ourselves. I know that no matter what happens, it will be a great weekend.
