Definitely out of the ordinary to post twice in less than a week (or less than a month with my consistency) but felt like going online and doing a new post tonight.

I'm in the midst of Week 10 and when I first looked at the week's training plan I was surprised. Let me begin with a recap of the long run that capped off week 9 - I ran 10 at at nice pace. It was a tougher run than the 9 two weeks prior but I finished strong. It was the perfect way to wrap up a week that took a lot of determination to do. So, week 10's training takes me to a 5-day a week schedule rather than 4 like it's been so that was my big shock. Because of the Allentown Fair, I have/had to adjust it into the normal 4-day training. So the schedule should be - 3-3-8-3-10, instead it's shaping up to be 4-5-8-10. So far I've done the 4-mile and 5-mile runs (Monday and today) and they went well. Today's was better, Monday was tough because I had done 10 the day before and 3 on Saturday so between Saturday, Sunday and Monday I'd run 17 miles - not all that smart...

So today is Wednesday and I'm giving myself tomorrow and Friday off, then picking up on Saturday morning with a speed workout of 8 miles. Since Monday is Labor Day I'm pushing my long run to then, giving me Sunday off. Not really set in stone any plans for the weekend but should be able to hang out somewhere Saturday night and then I got a picnic invite for Sunday which would be worth stopping by.

Very excited for Kelly Clarkson tomorrow night - I think it's Jade and Sklyar's first concert so I really hope they enjoy it. Not much more to muse about so maybe this could have waited till the end of the week but oh well, I'm in a typing mood.
