Okay. Things are getting serious here. This week I’ll make it to 20 miles. As long as I don’t wimp out and make some excuse for not doing my “long” run:
- Monday: Rest
- Tuesday: 3 miles
- Wednesday: Rest
- Thursday: 5 miles
- Friday: 3 miles
- Saturday: Rest
- Sunday: 9 miles (WTF? Next thing you know I’ll have to worry about a double digit run)
- Total planned: 20 miles
Now – I’ve also got to come clean. I didn’t make my long (yeah – seven miles is long these days) run last week. Instead of 17 miles, I only got 10 in. So, this week will be one of those no no’s – doubling mileage. As a result, I’m going to take it especially easy on pace. There will be some lots of jogging and even some walking this week. The last thing I want to do is to break before I’ve even started.
Good adjustment! Really important not to injure yourself now. I did 10 this past weekend and have been feeling the drain ever since... so it's tough to do those distance regardless.
ReplyDeletesticking with the plan to not break is a good idea!
ReplyDeleteDoubling mileage when taking it easy isn't a big no-no. Maybe for someone just new to this gig, but you are a pro and you'll do just fine!! Loving your commitment!!! :)
ReplyDelete20 miles is feeling legit! Very happy for you.
ReplyDeletegood luck! you've done all this before - you can do it again.
ReplyDeletebut it is rather humbling to look and see "oh, i ran 9 whole miles this week". so impressed with myself... :)
Double digit runs - gotta love it Glenn!!! Good to see some flow coming back.
ReplyDeleteBTW, fall pics will be arriving soon ;-)
20 miles is VERY respectable! Congrats. Soon I will see you on Holy Jim : ))
ReplyDeleteSlow and steady is the way to go. High mileage will come with time. Just keep going.
ReplyDeletei only run 12-15 miles per week. 20 miles seems like a lot to me!
