So it's been over a week since I've posted and unfortunately since I've ran for that matter! Saturday the 24th of April started a crazy whirlwind trip to the West Coast for a mixture of business and pleasure. I finished my final run of that week on Friday and then packed quickly for my 7 am departure to Seattle! The weekend started great with a reunion with the best friends from college where we did some bridesmaid dress shopping for Laura's upcoming nuptials, had some hot Indian action, went to a carnival bar that served elephant ears, ate a famous Seattle cream cheese hot dog, and went to stalk McDreamy on Bainbridge Island. It's always a good time with my girls.
Monday started the work madness by taking the Amtrak train from Seattle down to Portland for business. We were in Portland for all of one night then it was off to San Francisco for a day and a half then I hopped the red eye to get home with just enough time on Thursday to jump in the car and head to Louisville for the 136th running of the Kentucky Derby! We had an amazing time at the derby and it was definitely a once in a lifetime event.
Now unfortunately during that entire week of crazy west coast travel, lack of sleep, and I'll admit, a few nights of drunken debauchery, I was only able to get one run in. But it was a good one! I went 28 minutes straight for a total of 2.6 miles. This was on a treadmill but at least I threw the incline up to make it "feel" more like an outdoor run.
I was a little disappointed that I didn't get more runs in during this trip, especially considering one of my main reasons for starting to run was because I could essentially do it anywhere. I am going to jump right back in to where I left off though and start off strong tonight with Week 7 of my 5K training. My hope is that a week off won't do anything to hurt my performance and hopefully it will help, my legs should be good and fresh for tonight's 28 minute run!
