September 24-September 30

Good week of running. Sad to say, but I missed my Monday run. This week I had to run when I could as my wife went into the hospital on Thursday morning. Everything went well for her during her surgery, she is now in recovery. Thursday was a BIG day for me as I turned 39! One more year closer to the BIG "40." So much was going on on Thursday that it was rather difficult to celebrate. This is why my wife and I celebrated last weekend. It is such a blessing to say that I have been running for the past 13 years! I have learned alot about running through those years and still learning.

Here are this week's results:

(Sunday's Run Elevation Chart)



This week was a successful week for the most part. I was a bit disappointed that I did not get a 20 miler in. I was planning to run a 20 miler on Sunday, but as I got into my run, I just did not feel up for it. I would like to believe it was due to my sickness. The past few days I have been sick and not eating much. Due to this I think my body just would not allow me to do it. That being said, I did run my furtherest this weekend by doing nearly 17 miles. Before this week, the most I had run was 16 miles. I am planning to do a 24 miler this upcoming Saturday(10/6). Of course, this is a bit freightening, seeing that my longest run is only nearly 17 miles. Oh well, we'll see! As you can see, I have Sunday's elevation chart this week!

Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying this cooler weather. I think our HOT days are behind us!
KEEP RUNNING!
