Run Disney Project: Return to the Run

This has been a week. I have been in Orlando last Wednesday to Friday at an educational technology conference. It was all fun and games, but there was no time for running. My highlight of the trip was going to the Nike Outlet store and picking up some new running clothes, including my much needed running gloves. Come Friday, I was so sick. Even though I got home, I was in no shape to run. Needless to say, I have some running to catch up on.

Miles Ran: 3.1 Miles / 33 Minutes
Run Disney Project Total Miles: 30.9 Miles

Day No. 13: I am finally back on the streets. It is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and I completely believe that holidays are the perfect time for running. The weather was great, and there was very little traffic to deal with. I did my 5K run, but I had a horrible completion time. It took me 33 minutes to complete this loop. Ridiculous! I blame being sick and not running for a week. I know that I will be back on track by the end of the week.

Miles Ran: 3.1 Miles / 29 Minutes
Run Disney Project Total Miles: 34.0 Miles

Day No. 14: This week I decided to rotate my 5K run. I am running my regular loop backwards. Instead of my three uphills mid-run, I faced a long stretched out hill within the first third of a mile, and a second horribly steep hill on my last mile. I felt that this run was a bit easier then running it the normal way. The hills being spaced out made it much simpler.

Miles Ran: 3.1 Miles / 28 Minutes
Run Disney Project Total Miles: 37.1 Miles

Day No. 15: Just another day, just another run. I ran my regular 5K run in the original direction. Today marks the one month countdown to the FLASK 12K run. This run will be my first official race I will compete in. I know 7.5 miles is a bit much, but I never like to do anything easy. I at least need to run 4 miles by the end of this week.
