Wednesday - 6/17 - 1.75 miles

I'm not even going to get into what I have been doing, er not doing, over the last few months. Let's just say the blog isn't missing anything worth reading about. So, over the last couple of weeks I have done some decent runs and logged about 20 miles. Not much, but more than nothing. And I'm fat! 210 lbs fat. And with that out of the way, here is what today looked like.

It was hot! Ninety-five degrees.

Mon - 1/5 - Run 3.0 miles

I got in a couple of runs last week, but for all intents and purposes I started back today. A cold, 37 degrees, run from Ingleside - Mayfield - Lynn Ave - Gettys Lane - Woodward - Library wetlands. A 9:12 pace. 

I pretty much stopped running after I hit my longest run of the year on Oct. 5, 11 miles. Will try to get back there by, say, mid March. I really want to run a 50k this year. I'm looking at the Siskiyou Out and Back in Oregon in July. If I don't get out for it, I may settle for Stumpjump in Oct.

Week Total - 25 miles

Finished the week with my longest run in over a year. Sunday's run also marked 13 days straight with a run. Biggest week since, who knows when, maybe even longer than last fall.

Sun - 10/5 - 11.0 miles

Well, I went into the week with a goal of 25 miles. It would be my best week this year, and I wanted to prove something to myself; namely, that I could put in the mileage in a week even if Natalie was gone for three days. The week didn't quite go as planned but I did run every day. Going into Sunday's long run I was at 14 miles for the week. I left the house with a 10 mile run, 10 single laps around the Middle School CC course, in the back of my mind.

I ran the first mile in 8:51, then had to stop to use the restroom. Back out for two more laps plus a bit around their track, 3.2 total. I took a quick break, then bored, decided to head out for a 5k. Got back to the car at 6.3 mile and a 8:52 pace. Almost stopped, but talked myself into a couple of more miles. As I got into this part of the run, I felt better and better. Runner's high? Anyway, ran to Ingleside and back to the Middle School for right at 11 miles. The pace ended up at 8:50 for the 11. And 25 for the week!

September Total - 58.4 miles

I forgot to post September's total - 58.4 miles. Started real slow but picked up with some consistency towards the end.
