Slacking off

R/W with GB twice this week.

She wanted to R/W on tues, wed and thurs. Tues I did go and we completed 3.35 miles in 55min, wwhich included a nice hill.
Wed, I got too lazy or u can say I just jammed. I was awake from 4.30 Am onwards and did not get up till 6.30 AM. Even tho my upper back hurt, the way it hurts when I have had an uncomfortable night and getting up helps. GB called a couple of times and then went on her own.
Today/thurs , I realized my folly and went at 5.15 Am sharp for the r/w. I did 4.67mi in 67 min. Relatively flat course. But GB now with foot pain so am planning to do the LSD on sunday instead of Saturday to give her some time to heal. Also 13yo has soccer tournament so Sat. will be rushed. Its only 8 miles this weekend maybe GB will do less and be ready for the 18 miles next weekend!
