This has been one exciting week! For starters, this week was a much better week in my personal/family life. My wife and I are pretty recovered from the events from last week. Both of our families are doing much better as well.
Now, back to my running! I missed my Wednesday run mostly due to the fact that it was raining. I was a little disappointed, but there is not much that I can do about the weather. I started the week with a great 8 mile run that I fought to not run too hard. I must say, it seems like all of my runs lately, I have had to do that. All in all, I would like to think that is a good thing. My running seems to be coming around and I am beginning to feel like my old self again. It has been exciting to be able to run pain-free and I have been running a lot of hills too. Of course, how can you not run hills around here.
Here are this week's results:
Monday: REST
Tuesday: 8 mi/1:08:57/Great run with some speed coming in with no pain!
Wednesday: REST
Thursday: 5 mi/41:25/Fast run with a hard time of not running too hard! I ran the last hilly part of my run under 7 minutes.
Friday: REST
Saturday: 11.5 mi/1:39:38/Sweet long run with no pain, it was a fairly hilly course as well!
Sunday: 7.7 mi/1:11:29/Great run after a 11.5 miler the day before. I did not feel nearly as bad as I had thought. Ran with Stefanie.
Weekly Miles: 32.2 mi
Definitely a great week of training! I am so excited about being back on track and just being able to run pain-free. I am also pretty excited about being able to run in warm temperatures again. It has been so long. BJ, sorry to hear about your results from the Mercedes Marathon, I must say, it happens to the best of us. I am certain that you will figure out what is going wrong and make adjustments. Congratulations on 2 marathons in a 1-month period. You da man! Hope everyone has had a great week on running!!
Keep running!!

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!
