Double Digits
Most running blogs are either personal or global, and I’ve bounced back and forth between the two. I’ve now decided I can do both, but I’ll keep them compartmentalized. So from now on weekday content will consist exclusively of funny or odd running stories, while weekend content (nonexistent until now) will consist exclusively of what I’m up to — for the half-dozen or so of you who care.
This was my highest mileage week in ages. I finished with 27.5 miles. Today’s 10 miler was my longest single run since last October. I did it at a 9:20 pace, so it didn’t water my eyes, but it was steady. My best run this week was in the rain – 2.4 miles at 7:45 pace.
I’m up over 83 miles for the month of April, but this will be a step-down week, so I won’t break 100. I’m doing everything I can to avoid injury. It would be nice to run my third marathon after a four-year hiatus. Knock on wood.
Consider me one of the half dozen who care.
Your mileage is higher than mine. I’ve been a real slacker lately. I’m training for a crazy hilly 10 miler which is one week from today, but I’m doing a workout video 2 – 3/week with some colleagues after work. My upper body strength has improved , but my 25 – 30 mile weeks are a thing of the past.
