The first week of my fourth mesocycle really was one for the books. I hit every thing that was on my training plan (yes, even the bike ride). Don’t get me wrong, I had to switch a few things around during the week but I still was able to get it done. It took me long enough to get on the ball. Let’s see how the week played out…

Get to the Green 10K – Saturday, March 14, 2015
On Saturday, I ran in the Get to the Green 10K. This event is known as the largest road race in the Midlands and is part of the St. Pat’s Festival held in Five Points of Columbia, SC. This event started at the Maxcy Gregg Park and finished at the St. Pat’s Festival on Devine Street.
Packet Pick-up
I picked up my race packet at Whole Foods (my favorite store) on Thursday after work. Nothing fancy about packet pick-up. There was no expo, so I was pretty much in and out (except for the shopping 🙂 ).
Mesocycle 3: Week 4: Going Out With A Bang!!!
This week started off with a bang!!! I was hitting my training plan hard!!! I felt awesome and feeling more and more confident in my upcoming race. But near the end of the week….I fell off.
Mesocycle 3: Week 3: Dusting Myself Off (AGAIN)
If at first you don’t succeed…dust yourself off and try again!!!
As you may recall, week 2 was a major fail because my body had its own agenda. Being sick that week really sucked but maybe it was my body’s way of telling me to slow down. Since I’m very hard headed, I guess that’s a good defense mechanism, because I probably wouldn’t have stopped otherwise. I was so looking forward to the start of week 3. I was feeling better and I really felt like I needed to feel the ‘run’.
On Monday, I met up with my sole sistah Karen from BGR! Augusta and got in a five mile run in the pouring rain (it started out light but then started to come down). Now mind you, Karen had just finished a half marathon in the rain the day before. But my sole sistah still showed up to meet me for a run in the rain (again). Days like this make me realize how much I miss living in GA. I’m officially taking applications for new running buddies in my area. If interested let me know below in the comment section 🙂 .
My goal for this run was to get in 6 miles at my CP but we headed back before reaching the church (dagg I should have ran to the church…I was already wet). Oh well, I ended up doing 5 miles at my CP and I felt great!!! It felt great just being back on the pavement after a week of no running at all. I’M BACK!!!

Gamecocks Run 6K – February 28, 2015
On Saturday, I ran in the Gamecocks Run 6K. When I first saw the flyer for the run, I was really excited!!! I’ve been a Gamecock’s fan since I can remember. So to run this and support the athletic department was a win win in my book. This race marked the first ever Gamecocks Run hosted by The University of South Carolina (USC) Athletic Department & event producer, JAM Active.
