Finally, I am back into my normal running routine. I would not say that it is actually the usual, but I am getting close. I was able to run 4 times this week which is GREAT compared to my last 2 weeks. It is a bit frustrating for me as the weather continues to change for the better (warm temp.), then out of nowhere COLD again. That is a bit unnerving to me because I am ready for the warm weather. That being said, I know that it is much easier for me to go out and run in the warmer temperatures than the colder ones. All in all it has been a great week of running. One thing I definitely noticed this week is that I have developed some pretty good speed. As you will see from my posted times, the 4.5 milers that I ran got faster and faster through out the week and my 10 miler wasn't bad either.
Here are the results from this week:
Monday: 4.5 mi/35:04
Tuesday: 4.5 mi/34:16
Wednesday: Unable to Run
Thursday: 4.5 mi/33:18
Friday: REST
Saturday: 10 mi/1:18:24/out-39:21/back-39:03
Sunday: Unable to Run
Mileage: 23.5
Sunday, the weather was horrible in the ATL, very windy, COLD, rainy! No running for me, otherwise I would have been able to get in nearly 30 miles. Definitely, a much better week!
This week, I am planning to get back to the Arthur Lydiard way of training. I will be running by time again.
Here is the schedule for this week:
Monday: 1 hour run
Tuesday: 1.5 hour run
Wednesday: 1 hour run
Thursday: 1.5 hour run
Friday: REST
Saturday: 2 hour run
Sunday: 30 minute run
KEEP RUNNING!

Nothing beats a good run! I’ve been running for over 30 years, and somehow I enjoy it more with every mile. Marathon days are behind me now, but I’m incredibly proud to have completed 14 marathons over the years. These days, my goals have shifted, and I’ve really enjoyed running one half marathon each month — woot! Running 3–4 times a week feels just right. Most importantly, spending time with my wife and my girls, Juliana (16) and Jessa (14), is my greatest priority these days. GR8FL!
