Saturday - 10.5/0

Well, I was able to put in something "special". Special to me is anything over 8 miles, regardless of pace or how. The how today came like this: run 3 miles on YMCA track (that's 57 laps), coach 4 year old basketball, run 7.5 miles on treadmill with a trip to the water fountain and 0.1 mile walk every 2.5. I would feel a lot better about the run had it been continuous, but I'll take it. It definitely taxed the legs which is what I wanted to accomplish, in addition to getting my weekly mileage up to a respectable total distance. Most of my running has been extremely slow for 2 reasons: 1) I've increased mileage so in order to keep coming back out day after day, my legs can't be too sore from hard running and 2) I'm trying to stay in that aerobic zone in an attempt to lose some weight. Anyway, I was barely able to step off of the treadmill and the legs feel very tired (coming off of 5 hours of sleep last nite makes me very tired). Now, the question is "Can I do it again tomorrow?" We shall see...
