Between the holidays, Christmas shopping, a near two-year old who seems to be embracing two years old a little prematurely, and a foot (not mine) through my attic floor (a.k.a. "ceiling"), I was ready for a longer run this morning. The combination of the Route 66 a week ago Sunday, the Las Vegas Rock n' Roll marathon this coming Sunday, and Thanksgiving right in the middle of all of it has really shaken up my running schedule. My first run after the Route 66 was this past Thursday (Thanksgiving), and it was a perfect day for it--a short recovery run through nearby neighborhoods, then off to graze (and gorge) all day long in traditional Thanksgiving manner.
My plan was to run 10 miles on Saturday, 4 miles today (Monday), and 4 miles Wednesday and Thursday, "tapering" for Las Vegas, and still kind of recovering from Route 66. Well, Saturday's run was moved to Sunday, and was then moved to today, so I knocked out my 10 this morning before work. I should be able to follow my schedule for the rest of the week.
Las Vegas should be a pretty fun run, but it will be the first long race I will run without my family at least waiting for me at the finish line, which stinks. I plan to take it easy there, just kind of winding down after what will become three marathons in five weeks.
I'm looking forward to the weeks following Las Vegas. A nice opportunity to rest a little. I plan to take a week off completely, and then, to limit my training to a few short runs each week until January.
