Last week I felt like running. Almost everyday I wanted to run. So I ran. I ran more days last week than I have since ending my run streak. January 2023 is the last time I ran 4 days in one week. I am only running 2 miles at a time, but it felt good to be running again. I actually wanted to run on Thursday and Saturday but decided I needed some breaks. I didn't run Saturday because I ran on Friday and wanted to do 3 miles on Sunday. I wish I had run though because on Sunday I really didn't want to run, and I did not run 3 miles, only 2, but I ran.
I have been a little concerned about my feet, which is why I didn't run on Thursday. I do not want to injure myself because I increased my miles too fast. I mean, I did though... I doubled them (or more) from my previous weeks. The first 2 weeks of July I only ran 2 miles . . . for the week. The last couple weeks in June I ran 4 miles weekly, and last week I ran 8 miles. They don't increase more than 10-15% of your weekly average, and I increased it at least 50% last week.
I don't know if it will last (running more days), I'd like it to, but right now I'm doing what I feel like with my running and not forcing myself to. Maybe that's my problem, I should force myself to do it, I used to. Even before my run streak I always ran on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday or Friday and Saturday.
I am planning on running again tomorrow. I thought about it today, but didn't. I've never really ran much on Mondays because it was my rest day after my long runs on Sunday. I don't have long runs anymore, but I hope to one day and Mondays should be rest days.
The last couple weeks have been warm here. Since the beginning of July we have had hotter than normal days. I love the hot weather, I love having a pool in the hot weather.
Yesterday and today have been considerably cooler, and today I don't think I saw the sun at all. I think our high was 70 today, which is so annoying (and cold) after such a long stretch of sunny hot weather. I am not jealous of the 100+ weather elsewhere, just want to know why it's so chilly here in the middle of the summer.
I am 2 weeks away from our cruise. I'm not sure what I think about it right now. I'm more nervous than excited, I don't know why.
