Monday: After Sunday's long run fail, this was planned rest. Sort of. John and I spent the majority of Labor Day in the basement working our asses off.
Tuesday: Rest. More basement work.
Wednesday: Unplanned rest. Meant to run, but basement got in the way. Again.
Thursday: 4.01 predawn miles! (ave. pace - 10:45) It felt so good to get out there. The first round of flooring was scheduled for that morning, so I knew it had to get done early. Leg feeling good!
Friday: Unplanned rest. Oops. Up too late in the basement and I was unable to haul my ass out of bed. Next round of flooring DONE!
Saturday: 5.01 early miles (ave. pace - 10:49) Again, I knew it was early or nothing. Jenna had a volleyball game that morning, and we all went. I spent the rest of the day shopping with the kids, taking care of packet pickup, and hydrating.
Sunday: 22 miles!!! Adding everything together, I finished all 22 in 4:21:01 for an average pace of 11:52. Not too bad.
Week total miles: 31.02
Want to see pictures?? Go here to recall how it looked before - we'd gotten it just livable enough for my brother-in-law to stay down there. And now?

Sounds like a busy week but the basement looks awesome!!! Way to get in that 22 miler! Yikes great job!
ReplyDeleteBasement looks great! I wanted to congratulate you on your great run with the race this weekend but again blogger was giving me issues yesterday! And I have to find that schwaggle site or whatever it was because by the time I saw the race and the price for it I thought it was to much but well you know my running deal now but anyways I thought about that race as well!
ReplyDeleteWow, your basement is looking GREAT!!
ReplyDeleteYou're sure doing better than me about getting up and getting your miles in. My discipline is on hiatus. :P
i'd love to have a basement. of course here in new orleans, it would more than likely be under water 2 or 3 times a year. :)

good work, chica!
Your basement looks AMAZING ... can you come over and do ours ... you'll have to clean it first.
ReplyDeleteThe basement looks great! And it's awesome that you were still able to get in 30+ miles while putting the big finishes on the basement.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of the basement, do you need a 51" rear projection tv to go down there? I can make you quite the deal....
The basement is looking so great! I love the flooring. Is it real wood or fake wood? Is it those snap-together pieces?
ReplyDeleteI hope this week is less crazy for you! :)
Great 22 miler!
