April 21- April 27

Whew! I am pooped! Very. I am on my way to bed as I am extremely tired from my move. However, I would like to update you on my running this week! This week was awesome as far as running. I got a lot of good miles in. I also ran on Friday, which I never do. Of course, I ran only because I knew that I would not be able to on Sunday.

Here are this week's results:

Monday: 4.3 mi/35:08(morning)/4 mi/33:48(afternoon)
Tuesday: 4 mi/32:42(morning)/6.2/59:35(afternoon)
Wednesday: 4 mi/32:50
Thursday: 6.4 mi/57:51
Friday: 7.2 mi/1:00:31
Saturday: MOVING not RESTING
Sunday: MOVING not RESTING
Mileage=40.1

I was very happy with running in the morning and running in the evening. What a workout! I will not be able to do that this week as I have a whole lot of yard work and house stuff to do! I am sure to get a workout doing yard work. That being said, I do plan to run Monday morning and then run in the evening most of the week. Hopefully, I can get lot's of miles in during the week as it looks like I am going to miss my Saturday run for a 2nd week in a row, due to my wife's big birthday. No biggie!

Yep, definitely a good week. I was rather happy with my results this week, especially seeing how busy I was. Man, as I mentioned last week, my wife and I bought a new home and were in the process of moving. Well, this weekend, we finally moved. Wow, I am soooooo tired, I wish I had taken off work on Monday. Oh well, I am sure that I will get over the move and make it just fine. This week is going to be yet another busy, busy week as I prepare for my wife's big "40th." We are going to have a GREAT time celebrating. Her birthday is actually on Friday, but I am sure we will celebrate all weekend, as you only turn "40" once, right?

Oh well, hope everyone has a GREAT week of running and I hope all that ran the Country Music Marathon were able to meet those time goals that you had set!

KEEP RUNNING,
LJ

April 14- April 20

Well, the final week of recovery is in the books. I am so excited and ready to get some miles in before the HOT temperatures hit Atlanta. I had a really good week of running and got a few more runs in than last week. Most of the runs that I got in were good ones and I probably ran faster than I should have as usual. I know that my long run on Saturday was a good run where I was actually able to take it easy. I have no set schedule this week. I am pretty much going to continue to take it easy and probably add some speed work this week. My plan is to run a 10k in the next couple of weeks.

Here are this week's results:

Monday: REST
Tuesday: 7.1 mi/59:45
Wednesday: 4. 1mi/33:41
Thursday: REST
Friday: REST
Saturday: 7.8 mi/1:16:37
Sunday: REST
Mileage=19 mi

As I said, this week was definitely a good week, especially compared to the last two. It is so exciting to hit
the pavement as the weather is getting warmer and nicer. Of course, with that, comes getting use to the warmer
temperatures. That usually means slower times for me as my body adjusts. This week is going to be a very busy week for me as my wife and I get ready to move to our new home. I am certain to still get a few runs in, but I can tell you now that I am definitely going to miss my long run on Saturday as that is the actual moving day.

Happy Running!!

April 7- April 13

This week has been another week of REST for ol LJ! I was on Spring break all week and had planned to run a good bit more, but just did not find the time. My wife and I just bought a new home and I must say, I have been getting ready
for the big moving day, April 25. I did get one run in on Saturday and it was a nice run with my lovely wife. We both started out for a little 2 miler and got caught in the rain. This was the first time we ran together in a good while.

Here is my schedule for this week as I complete my 3rd week of recovery.

Monday: 4 mi
Tuesday: 5 mi
Wednesday: 4 mi
Thursday: 3 mi
Friday: REST
Saturday: 10 mi
Sunday: 8 mi

I am looking forward to getting back to my usual running this week. I am hopeful for a GREAT
week of running. Have a GREAT week of running!

REST...REST...REST and more REST!!!

This week has been nothing, but REST.

I had planned to go for a run on Saturday, but my
wife and I took a road trip to Montgomery, AL. While
in Montgomery, I took my running clothes and was planning
to get up early Saturday for an easy run with my brother (BJ).
However, it was pouring the whole way to AL on Friday and sure
enough, the same thing the whole day on Saturday.

This just told me that I needed more rest. I am sure to start
running again on Monday!

Here is the schedule for this week:

Monday: 4 mi
Tuesday: 4 mi
Wednesday: 3 mi
Thursday: 4 mi
Friday: REST
Saturday: 12-13 mi
Sunday: 4 mi

Like I said last week, I don't really have any plans as far as
running right now. Basically, I will continue to recover for the next
couple of weeks and then run a few 5 and 10k's here and there.

Hope everyone has a GREAT week of running!
