Vacation Mileage or Lack of It

I am on vacation this week with no travel plans. Day trips with Ben and Lisa, and good list of house hold products. There should be plently of time for some serious mileage. The reality is proving a bit different. It has been Africa hot here in New England, but it ain't the heat it is the humidity that has made life outside really ugly.

I was able to blow off Saturday's run ( made only 2 miles) because I had a long run planned for Sunday. Sunday morning came and I decided to plan a later in the day run since Lisa had a morning Temple board retreat. Later in the day I had to go back to work to finish office work that would allow me to actually be on vacation.

Yadda. yadda, yadda, you get the drift of this do't you?

This morning, Wednesday, I did hit the road by 7:00 AM, about an hour later than planned, so my 14 miles became 10. Oh, well. I log my training from Monday through Sunday, so at least I have put some miles in log. It is getting pretty damn hot right now. The plan for today, paint the floor on the porch. empty back room and paint about 3/4 of the floor in the back room. It is about 9:00 AM, time for a shower.

A little over thirteen weeks before the Mystic Places Marathon. Here are my goals for Mystic Places: run a 7 minute pace marathon, 3:03:24 or better, 3:05 or less 7:04 pace, or 3:06 - 7:06 pace. This should be fun.

Shower time.
