Training Day 4

Yesterday per the schedule was an off day and I didn't even do the elliptical as I had planned. But I let my muscles rest as they say and my body wasn't nearly as sore today as I was the first three days.

Frankie text me his stats earlier this evening. He did 3 miles today, so proud of him. My sis in law even did the first 2 miles with him so he only did one alone. He did 3.08 miles in 33:42! Way to go! The last mile that he did alone he broke 10 minutes and did it in 9:36! I have no doubt by race day he will be at or under 7 minute miles. I know he's surpassed that back in his running days! I'm hoping that we will be able to run together soon and do some hills together as well since there will be plenty event day!

I got a late start to my jog this evening and since the hubs knew I would be jogging in the dark he went to Walmart on the way home and bought me a reflective vest. :0) He is always looking out for me! In September my friend Caitlin and I started working out together and although we haven't done much of it together since we started, she text me this evening and asked me if I had done my run yet. Since I hadn't, I invited her along. I'm so glad she came because who wants to run in the dark alone?! We did the same 4.12 miles that I did on Saturday. Only I didn't beat my 1h33s time. Today we did the 4.12 miles in 1:04:54. It was 41 degrees out and dropping, but the good thing was I didn't have to carry water and wasn't beat red for two hours after. Caitlin did a great job and even though the plan called for 3 miles we did 4. I had to stop once to readjust the ankle support I was wearing but started back jogging as soon as I was done and it took less than a minute to readjust. Caitlin occasionally would walk but caught right back up with me without a problem. I was sad because I carried my phone in the pocket on the vest instead of on my arm strap and for some reason it only logged 3.06 miles. We did 2 of the miles around the track at the park and it was one of those that it did not pick up. We even got in the car to double checked that it was a mile to the park! Because if not, I am only cheating myself. It was in fact a mile to the park and a mile back home. I guess next time I will keep it on my arm where I can continue to look at it from time to time!

This is a picture of Caitlin and I last year around this time 
when we went to a concert in Dallas.
