Happy Earth Day!

The intention was to run 6 miles and then walk the last mile while picking up garbage (in celebration of Earth Day). Instead, I fell victim to the iPod/Nike+ tracking and could not bring myself to stop a mile short. So instead, I ran the 7 miles, went home got a garbage bag, and took the kids back out with me to pick up garbage on the side of the road.

Today's run was great. I think I run my long runs better after only one day of rest. After having two days off, it's hard to get into the swing of a long run. So, I may tweak the training schedule again (and by extension my husband's schedule) and try to get out early in the morning on Fridays for the long run. It should work for the lower mileage, but when I get to the 10-12 miles runs, it may get a little tight time-wise. I'll have to see if my husband is willing to be the bus in the morning.
