January 26-February 1

Definitely a much better week of training! I had some really good runs with no-pain! I did not get to run quite as far as I had hoped to on Saturday, but I am content. This week coming will be my last week of rehabbing(yippee!) and I will probably run a little bit more. Rehabbing will not totally end as I will continue to rehab and strengthen the lower adductor tendon and continue to do a great deal of stretching. My hope is that the soreness and tenderness in the muscle will eventually go away for good(i am very hopeful)!

Here are this week's results:

Monday; REST

Tuesday: 5 mi/44:00/Nice run w/Dan! I probably ran faster than I would like, but nevertheless, a great run! No-pain!














Wednesday: 4.4 mi/36:54/Great run! I had a hard time holding back and not running too hard!












Thursday: 6.2 mi/53:04/Awesome run! I could not figure out how far I wanted to run. I started out planning to run 4 miles on my usual flat course. I felt so good that I ran my hilly 6 mile route and I was able to run pretty hard coming in! My lower adductor is definitely getting much better!














Friday: REST

Saturday: 8.2 mi/1:11:27/Nice, long run that I wanted to be longer! Had some good hills going and coming. Shortened the run due to another long run planned for Sunday.















Sunday: 7.1 mi/1:06:45/Good, hilly run with Stefanie, great run Stef!























Weekly Miles: 30.9 mi

Definitely a great week of running! It has been awhile since I was able to run for one whole week pain-free! That is so uplifting! Also, it was a good feeling ending my week with two long runs, back-to-back! This week I plan to continue my weekly runs of 4 miles and I will probably increase one or two of those runs by adding a mile or two. I am not certain, but I am considering running a 10k on Saturday and if that happens, I will probably do a long run on Sunday. Hope everyone has had a good week of running!
