11/22/10-11/26/10 Running Updates

Monday, 11/22 - No Run, ART Therapy

I continue therapy, but it's gone to once every week or every 2-weeks. Just kinda goes with what I can work into the schedule.

Tuesday, 11/23 - Quick Run, 25 minutes, just under 4 miles

This was not my smartest run. I got home with just a little time before having to get to job #2, so I quickly got out for a run. I ran it way faster than I should have, and really didn't do myself any favors by not allowing my Achilles to warm up before getting going. Didn't feel TOO bad, but definitely didn't feel great.

Wednesday, 11/24 - No Run

Out for a couple of beers the night before and just didn't get up early, even though I had a pretty good night's sleep.

Thursday, 11/25 - 34:03, 4.7 Miles

Just a nice, late morning trot out down Memorial, loop of the wooded area and back down Blossom, after an evening of good food (first time eating tacos bought from a taco truck) and good company. Thankful for so many things from the start of the day to the end of the evening.

Friday, 11/26 - 41:06, 6.07 miles; 21:30 out, 19:36 back

I had almost forgotten what it felt like to run "fast". I was coasting really well by the time I got to Memorial Park. I ran down Blossom, then Crestwood over to Memorial, until I got into the park, then to the Tennis Center, the 0-mile marker, then turned and ran back the same way. On the way back, I felt really, really good cookin' along that way. I could tell the fitness is still coming back, as I definitely got tired as I got close to home, but man was it fun moving out like that.

Looking forward to a "long" run tomorrow...maybe 10-12, depending on how I'm feeling. Will definitely take it out slow, but hope to be able to run a strong negative split.
