weekly check-in

"Our running shoes are really erasers. Every step erases a memory of a past failure. Every mile brings us closer to a clean slate. Each footstrike rubs away a word, a look, or an event that led us to believe that success was beyond our grasp." ~John Bingham

So, how was your week of running? If you're on the east coast of the US, how are you dealing with the heat? If you're in the southern hemisphere, how is the winter treating you? What are you planning for the week ahead?

I moved my Wednesday run to Tuesday, because I wanted to watch the Germany - Spain game and noticed that I started getting restless before Sunday arrived. Seems like four days break between runs is too much.

Had a nice swim and a great run on Sunday, though. Got up even earlier, was outside running around 06.20h. Went well, despite it being unpleasantly warm even at this hour. I managed to increase my speed and reduced my walking time even more.

Bonus - meeting a pretty black cat who wanted a belly rub on my last stretching break. *g*

Nasty heatwave right now. I've spent the last two days at home with mild heatstroke. Don't know if I'm well enough to run tomorrow.
