Two great weeks in a row and that's with a missed run! I am a bit disappointed in missing one of my runs, but I decided to go have fun instead of train(probably not the wisest). I have made worse decisions. I will say that my good run on Saturday pretty much washed away any bad thoughts that I had about missing a run.
Here are this week's results:
**Please visit the MotionBased link to see more information about each of my runs this week!**
Monday: 5 mi/42:04/Very cold this morning and I was under-dressed. Still a very good run with a good strong finish!
Tuesday: 4.8 mi/40:01/Comfortable run with some good speed throughout the run. Had some rolling hills that I really liked.
Wednesday: REST
Thursday: REST
Friday: REST
Saturday: 14.2 mi/2:07:06/Good run till I came back in. I struggled a bit, but finished strong. The wind coming back was extremely brutal!
Sunday: REST (yard work, if you call that rest)
Weekly Miles: 24 mi(run)
I feel pretty good and confident after my 14 miler on Saturday. I did feel pretty bad afterwards, not in a bad way. My body was just a bit sore and probably because I am still adjusting to doing longer runs again. The longer run really felt great and I am sure that I would have felt ten times better had it not been so windy. The funny thing is, I ran the same route for the last two weeks and both times coming back it was extremely windy. Of course, I added some distance this week to make it a longer run. I will probably do another 14 miler or so this week and then take it easy till the ATL Half. I am looking forward to running with my brother (BJ). He had to ruin my 14 miler by sending me a text to let me know that he had just completed a 17 miler. Here I am thinking I had done something!
Happy running to all this week!

Nothing better than a good run! I've been running for over 30 years and find myself enjoying it more every run. Running marathons is a thing of the past for me. I'm extremely proud to have been able to complete 14 marathons. These days, my goals have changed and I have enjoyed running 1 1/2 marathon a month. Woot! Running 3-4 times a week is good enough. Spending time with my wife and kiddos, Juliana(14) and Jessa(13) are priority for me these days. GR8FL!
