Last run before the 10k!!

I REALLY didn't want to go out to run today. I mean REAAAALLLLLY! I almost talked myself out of it twice. I had a headache from this darn cold and it doesn't take much before 5am to entice me back into my warm, comfy bed. But, I remembered that I had entered a speech competition and I wanted to give my speech about running. (It's a humorous speech competition!) So, I did get out. And of course my headache went away. And of course I feel a lot better now. And of course I'm glad I did it.

In my thirty minutes, I covered 2.59 miles. It was a nice, easy run.

Lately, my left calf has felt tight, particularly after running. I hope that doesn't give me problems. I'll have to massage it more.

Now, a bit of a running break until Sunday's 10k!! I'm getting excited!!

Congratulation of completing your training. What program are you using to train for the 10K?

Mia, Thanks! I didn't have a program for the 10k. I just knew I didn't want to run more than 30 minutes on weekday mornings and I only wanted to run three times a week. So, I decided I would do two 30-minute weekday runs, one regular and one containing intervals to hopefully increase my speed. Then, on the weekend I would do a long run. I started at 4 miles or so and raised the mileage by a half mile every week. It seemed to work for me!
