No, you didn't miss the week 1 post - there wasn't one. I was sick for what was to be half-marathon training week 1. Since I already run more than week 3 even calls for, I figured it would be okay to "skip" week 1. Plus, I ran 70 miles last month which probably calls for a week off.
I'm following the NIke+ training plan for a half-marathon for beginners. Ok, after running for more than a year, I'm probably not a beginner, but it IS my first half-marathon, right? Every week is three runs. This week should be 4, 4, and 7 miles.
Overall, I'm not so impressed with the Nike+ Training. My biggest disappointment, is that is appears that once you miss a run, then it decides that you are behind no matter if you run longer than necessary on other runs or even run on a day it doesn't have you scheduled to run. So since I missed the first week, no matter how much extra I run it will always say I'm 14 miles behind in my training. You are able to delete the runs, but only up until they should happen. That means if you don't run that day and forget to delete the run from your training schedule, then you will be behind. I don't like being behind. It's not good psychologically. It is still in beta testing, so maybe they'll resolve that feature.
So I'm still sort of recovering from my cold, as was demonstrated by Monday's crappy non-run (i.e. walk):
Wednesday I gathered some momentum to run:
And Friday (yesterday), I had to find things to do in order to stay up all day and try to get back on a non-night-shifted routine. So I convinced myself to run:
Plus, it started to make up for last week lack of running.
Today's long run in the next post.
