I had set the goal to run 33 miles this week, but I basically a day off yesterday, so I had to try to get some extra mileage today. My daughter has been wanting to ride in the running stroller, so we ventured around the area for 6 miles, and then I took my son for about 1.25 miles. Then my wife had to leave, so I ran some more on the treadmill and got the mileage in. It was hard at the end. Total of 15.65 miles gives me 33 for the week. Feels great to have kept my goal. I don't think I'm getting better lately. But I've strung together several weeks with consistent (but low) mileage, so I think that will pay off, especially if I keep increasing. My commitment to myself for next week is that I will run 40 miles. That includes a race on Monday, my first in 8 or 9 months. |
