Weekly Running Workout

Last week: 31 total miles

Do you ever have that stretch of time when you think your running days are over?

It takes a lot of patience to get through it and then it's like the sunrise over the horizon. The work isn't done yet, but it's a start, a mini breakthrough.

I made progress getting in some miles without a whole lot of discomfort with my hamstring. Yay.

Here is my weekly running workout:

M – rest
T – 5 miles
W – 7 miles
Th – 5 miles
F – rest
Sat – 6 miles
Sun – 8 miles

Steady, easy pace. Working on a consistent turnover.

Happy running!

Shamrock Shuffle Surprise

Look what came in the mail yesterday! I had completely forgotten how I had placed let alone thinking I was going to get a medal.

That made my day.

I'm looking forward to 10 miles tomorrow, although I'm not training for anything right now, I want to keep up all the training I have put in. That's the catch, right?

Happy running this weekend. What's your distance?

It's supposed to be a hot one here in Chicagoland. Stay hydrated :)

The Need For Speed

Wednesday is usually our speed workout, but some greenish storm rolled in about an hour before our group was supposed to meet. The Armageddon storm they were predicting was a little rain and some thunder and lightening. Nonetheless, not good to run when it's lightening.

So TODAY, a beautiful sunny day, is our speed workout.

5 miles with 2 x 1 mile x 800.
