Total Distance
3.10

Okay, so I haven't written on here forever!, but I really didn't fall off the wagon.  Since my leg has been feeling 100% better, I have been running 2.5 to 3.1 miles every other day, pain free! I think I pushed myself too hard and never let my leg fully recover.  Lesson learned! So, although I did take a few days off here and there, if I didn't run on my "running" day, then I did either a core workout or a kickboxing (On Demand--- the only good thing about Comcast!) I will try to be better about blogging my runs!

Glad to have you back Peg and glad your leg is feeling better. I was thinking about your running before, and your long runs were probably a bit long. Most recommendations I've seen is to have your long run be 30% of your total weekly distance. So, if you ran 9 miles during the week, run 4 miles on the weekend. Sometimes I fudge that and run up to 50% of my total distance on the weekend but not often. If you do run longer, maybe only do it once in a while. Also, only up your mileage by 10% each week, then step back every 3-4 weeks and do less.
