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.
