Last week I finally sucked it up and went running multiple times in the lovely (sarcasm) central Florida weather! Severe lightning caused some interference with my plans, but I did manage to get a couple runs in.
Wednesday I ran about 3 miles with some wonderful people at Running for Brews Orlando.
Sunday I ran another 3 miles by my lonesome. I think I might need to start a weekly update of things said to me while running if that run was any indication. A man slurred at me that I "didn't really need to be jogging" while gesturing at my body. This simultaneously made me mad about being called a "jogger" (ugh people, not cool!) and super impatient to have my dog with me because people tend to not say creepy things when I have him with me.
That story aside, I am definitely hoping to increase my overall mileage this week. Adjusting to running in the heat is always an adventure and this time around won't be any different.
How was your running last week? And has anyone ever said anything weird/rude to you while running?

Weekly Miles- March 23-29
Happy Monday!
I need to keep myself accountable and posting my weekly mileage tends to help with that. I don't mind slacking off, but I don't like to admit that I've done it!
This past week I ran 3 times for a total of about 7 miles. The sad part is that I think it is more consistent than I have been in quite some time. As much as I am trying to convince my body to get back in the groove of piling on the mileage, I need to get both my brain and body used to running consistently. With the whole moving/wedding planning/house shopping/job searching thing going on I have to work harder to make the time to run. I always feel better after I do though!
Here is a breakdown of my runs last week:
3/23 - Yoga (throwing it in there because it's my favorite cross-training)
3/24 - 2.5 miles around school campus
3/35 - nothing. ate cake
3/26 - 2.5 miles around school campus
3/27 - rest
3/28 - 2 miles on the track doing speed work
3/29 - rest
Lessons learned: once again I went too far in my first outing in my zero drop shoes and my shins hurt. Luckily I wore my Zensah calf sleeves and don't have pain in the rest of my leg. Someday I might learn to ease into these things!
My running/yoga buddy isn't feeling well so I might be on my own this week. But I am heading to Florida for Easter so I am hoping for this week to fly by!
