This past weekend I was supposed to do an 11-mile run on Saturday. Not a big deal, especially considering I had run 15 miles the week before. However, as I was running by the ferry terminal for Governor's Island, which was crowded with people, I tripped on the curb and fell. I skinned my knee and my hands, and bumped my head on the curb. Anyone who's close with me knows that I had an awful week last week, and this was just the last straw. I got up, assured the giant audience of people who witnessed the fall that I was okay, and limped home with blood dripping down my leg. I hate being a quitter, but how awful is that? I just could not make myself keep going. I was in pain and did NOT want to be running anymore. So I missed my long run on Saturday, and then felt guilty for the rest of the weekend because of it. This weekend I am supposed to do 17 miles, and I am just hoping I'm able to do it after missing my long run last weekend.
Weekly Training Plan:
Monday: 4 miles
Tuesday: 8 miles (it felt sooo long for a midweek run!)
Wednesday: 4 miles
Thursday: rest
Friday: 8 miles (should be interesting, as I'll be in Wayland, Mass far away from running trails!)
Saturday: rest
Sunday: 17 miles
Total: 41 miles
