It Keeps Going and Going and Going

The miles never end. Week 10 is in the books. I wrapped up the week yesterday with a *slow* 9 miles around the Back Bay. After Saturday's little debacle, I was not planning on running the full nine, but once I got past the first two miles, everything that was hurting seemed to loosen up. And after such a wet and stormy week, the weather was fantastic - so I just kept on going and going and going. The final stats on the week: 48 miles - 38 on the trails, 10 on the rower. I failed to do any of my stretching and core work though, so I need to get this back on track this week.

I also took the Injinjis out on their first trial yesterday. My initial reaction is pretty positive. The best part is their wicking ability seems *very*good. I'll do a complete review after next weekend's long run.

Here are the real chimpanzee feet:



Speaking of next weekend, we're into Week 11. On the plan:

  • Monday: Erg 5K. Stretching and core work
  • Tuesday: 12 mile tempo. Supposed to be raining. Sigh.
  • Wednesday: Erg 10K.
  • Thursday: 6 mile general aerobic run. Stretching and core.
  • Friday: Rest
  • Saturday: 16 mile long run.
  • Sunday: 6 mile GA.

Total: 40 miles running, 9.3 miles rowing.


The miles seem to keep going and going and going....

  6. You are totally the Energizer Bunny. Except not all pink and furry. ;)

    BTW, I LOVE my inj-injin- ugh, toe socks. (Can't spell em but they are good stuff!)

  8. Yes, the miles are always there aren't they? "The miles are long but the runs are short" I like to say. Paraphrasing someone I think.

  9. Yes, Glenn, those do look like chimp feet! By the way, don't skip out on the stretching and core work, please!!

  10. I like the toe socks...they are certainly hiding any sign of the chimp feet!

    Hey, I will be at Surf City, but I think you'll be long gone by the time I get there (you're doing the marathon, right?). I promise to mostly walk it, with occasional run breaks :-)
