After a tremendous third week, let us check out what’s in store for week number 4.
Day 20 – 01/20/2021 – 1958/346
The week started off taking rest and recovering from the Ultramarathon that I ran over the long weekend.
Wednesday gave me some hope to go out for a run and build on top of what I did over the weekend. As I wanted to go for a 10K distance and didn’t want to do the loop, which I did for my Ultramarathon, I chose my other usual route which takes me from 8 Miles Rd to 9 Mile Rd, and then to 10 Miles Rd, before returning on the way back. I loved this route as it has so many things to check out and since I have run here for quite some time now, I am more familiar with this route now. Plus, it doesn’t seem to tire me at all.
Day 21 – 01/21/2021 – 1951/345
Today’s run was a repetition of yesterday’s run. There was one thing that was better than yesterday and that was Michigan weather. After so many days, we got to see the Sun in Michigan, which is always a special feeling.
I went out for a good 15-minutes walk after lunch and the run happened at around 5PM. I wanted to go for a longer distance but limited myself to a 10K as I had to head to Monikaβs for dinner.
Day 22 – 01/22/2021 – 1950/344
Today’s run was a little different for a couple reasons.
The weather was so unpredictable today that I had to split my 5K into two parts. The first part was just a mile long as I had to rush back to take care of some work-related issue. The weather was both cold and windy, causing me to not stay outside for a longer duration.
The second reason for the difficulty in the run was my aching left toe. I think the Ultramarathon that I ran over the weekend was showing a little bit of effect even after running two 10Ks. Maybe, I am putting too much pressure on my legs or maybe I was just not in the mood of running. Either way, I could cover only a 5K.
Before you go, please check out the week number 4 highlights. I finished 17.2 miles this week, bringing the distance to cover in 2021 to 1947.8 miles, that’s 5.67 miles every single day for the remainder of the year!
See you next week!
