Eighty semi-slow laps at MAFC today. Glutes were a little stiff after yesterday's ladders, and there is some chafing to deal with as well, but things loosened up pretty well after a couple of miles. Completed the first half of 2011 with 1052 miles. Went back and looked at the log, and I missed 51 days of running so far this year, due to weather, injury, exhaustion, travel, taper, work, blah blah blah. Meaning on the other 131 days, I averaged better than 8 miles. If I can maintain an 8-mile average and cut the RDs in half, that would put me at 1250 or so for the second half of the year. Bump up the daily mileage later in the year, maybe get 1350-1400. I think the actual goal will be to keep the RDs to about 20, one every two weeks or so plus the occasional can't-be-avoided miss. Tomorrow, the first run with WAR at Chaffee. Cindy won't be there due to surgery (I think), but it'll be nice to have people to run with. Hopefully there will be people there wanting to run my 9:20ish pace. |
