This is the last week of increased mileage, and we start to taper after this in our 12 week plan. This week was to be 6 miles, 6 miles, and 12 miles.
Tuesday's run was "eh", mostly because the first 3 miles were uphill, certainly much more uphill for which I am conditioned.
Thursday's run was not to be. I came up with at least a half-dozen reasons why that might be: 1. too much running lately, 2. being on vacation and doing strange "vacation" things, 3. being in Canada, 4. Tuesday's run uphill, 5. the cold/wet weather in Niagara falls that morning, 6. it being too early in the morning. Most of my problem were my hip flexors where killing, which made me favor the uphill run as the biggest problem.
Alas, I listened to my body and walked 3 miles before heading back to the hotel.
Today's long run is in it's own entry.
No, I still have no idea what the line on the bottom of the widget graphs is.....
