This week has just been crazy busy. I'm so backed up with my google reader that I'm scared to check it.
But, I did get a few runs on. This past Sunday, I was able to make it out to Steven's Creek Trail, in Mountain View, for a run. I got up relatively early and make it out there for a 6 mile run. This was the longest I ran since the SV marathon. I felt good. I ran it at an 8:29 pace. I'm not sure I could have kept that pace up if I went longer. If I went at a slower pace, I think I could have done 8/9 miles. I was sad to learn that later that same day on that same Trail, a women was attacked. Fortunately, she was able to get away. Be careful out there.
I planned to get three runs in during the week, but work has just been keeping me tied up. Besides the regular work, I have an article that I wanted to get done yesterday (it is due soon). So far I have not had time to start it. I'm hoping to find time in the next day or two. But, I did get a short 3.1 mile run in on Tuesday. I wanted to get another run in Thursday morning. I was up late on Wed night trying to get work done (until about 1:30am) and I wanted to get up at 6:20 to get out there by 6:30-6:40 am and do a short 3 mile run. The alarm did go off at 6:20am. But, I did not get up. :( I finally got up about 7am, but then had to get ready for work and in the office. I was able to get in a 3.4 mile run tonight on the treadmill. Running on the treadmill is just not the same (I did run at 11pm so was able to watch a rerun of Seinfeld.
Some people from my running group were planning to get together for a 10/12 mile trail run on Sat. I was really looking forward to going. Then, I realized I have a baby CPR class in the morning so I have to miss it. :( I was a bit unsure if I should increase my mileage so much this soon so maybe it is for the best that I cannot attend. Instead, I'm going to try go for a 7 or 8 mile run this weekend.

That's a scary story about the woman runner. I hate to hear that things like that happen but so glad she was able to get away. Great job on getting some runs in!
OMG, that scares the crap out of me. Being attacked is my biggest fear when I'm running. I have pepper spray but who knows how that would work out in the midst of something happening. I'm glad she was able to escape.
Busy week and scary story about that woman! Have a nice run this weekend!
Wow, scary. Thanks for the reminder to keep our ears open when running!
How scary about the woman being attacked. I hear ya about being behind on google reader - I'm trying to catch up tonight. Good to hear you were able to get some running in.
