St Patty's Day was a BLAST. There were no mishaps, arrests or anything of the sort. We all had a GREAT time, were safe and definitely needed a full day of recovery for the sake of our hepatic health! We saw everything green - green wigs, green boas, green tights, shoes, bras, tiaras, sunglasses, wands, wings, you name it- someone was wearing it in green! The bands were awesome, the food vendors were phenomenal, and of course the beer was overpriced (4$ for aBudLight??!!) but we expected that, and of course did not care!
After a long lazy day of recovery on Sunday, I was back at it to training with an easy 4 miler yesterday and a 4 mile tempo run today (6 miles total including 1 mile warm-up and cool down)
I must say that the weekend off from running has made me feel a little bit fresher this week. Good thing since it is 14 miles this weekend! Here is the breakdown for the week including what I have done so far this week.

Monday - 4 miles
Tuesday - 6 miles (1 mile warm-up and cooldown, 4 mile tempo at 9:00/mile)
Wedensday - 5 miles (easy)
Thursday - 5 miles (hills)
Friday - REST
Saturday - 14 miles

TOTAL : 34 miles

I don't know why but I had a terrible time getting up this morning. I went to bed early, slept well, but I was totally unmotivated - maybe because it was cold and rainy? I am of course glad I got out there and did it, but even my pace seemed slowed possibly due to my lack of motivation to get up...Probably, hopefully my motivation will improve throughout the week.
