Training Week

After my first race, I just picked up the same training plan and started it again. Albeit at a spot that fits for my next race! I’ll say it again; using a training plan/guide is much easier than just trying to run a few days a week. If I need to keep racing to make “training” this much more enjoyable, I’ll keep finding room in my schedule for them. I think I’ll go for a 10k after this one though.

Our first baby class is this week. It’s a class on breastfeeding. I’m going to hopefully learn a thing or two, and be supportive. Also, I’ll remember things my wife won’t, and visa versa. This means I can’t play golf tomorrow like I hoped, but I still get to skate against a guy I grew up against (I’m 4-0 against him in the last two years).

I took a CPR/First Aid class through work on Monday. The CPR guidelines are changed so often, it’s nice to get this refresher before our kid arrives. There were two downfalls however; I ate pizza for lunch and ran intervals after work, and a new guy started in the shop that day. I was able to meet this new guy for a few minutes before I left for the training class, and he seemed like a nice guy. The next day, he arrived to work at 5:00am, showing promise. After going over a few things for 15 minutes or so, I was set to have him just observe for an hour, and he ran to his vehicle to grab his tools. And never came back. No idea what happened, but its kinda funny. Who wakes up at 4am and then quits right after getting to work?

A friend was supposed to start running today by doing my warm-up with me and the dogs. Maybe Friday.
