3 MORE runs

I know that I have been incredibly lazy logging my runs lately. And I have also be really bad about reading your blogs, too. But summer is crazy and I am having a terrible, terrible time keeping up with anything.

In any case, here is the (lame) breakdown of my running this last week...

7/3 3 miles. I pulled my left calf muscle so this run was very painful.

7/18 3.74 miles This was an easy run, so I won't tell you how painfully slow I was. And speaking of pain, my damn calf hurt again towards the end.

7/20 8.8 miles in 1 hour 37 minutes. OK, so this was a little on the slow side, but I am proud that K. and I went the distance despite thunder, pouring rain, and my achy calf.

What it all comes down to is this: I may not be able to do this September 1/2 marathon very well, but I will do it.

No matter what. I just have to try and keep my chin up about it.

3 more runs

6/12 55 minutes 27 seconds 5.58 miles--I intended for this to be a nice long run, maybe seven miles, but time wasn't on my side yesterday.

6/10 3.01 miles 27 minutes 51 seconds--This was supposed to be a tempo run, but there was lead in my legs and my chest felt heavy. I'm pretty disappointed in my time for this one.

6/8 4 miles 40 minutes 59 seconds--I did some intervals ran the recovery periods very slowly. Overall a decent run.

I fear I am simply not training enough for the 1/2 marathon.

3 decent runs

Well I am a bit behind on logging my runs so I'll give a quick break down:

6/28 I did about a 4.5 mile run while camping at Keuka lake. It felt amazing although the hills were super tough.

7/4 Yeah, it took me almost a week to get running again, but I had an infected bug bite on my foot and couldn't get my shoe on for days. Anyway, I have no idea how far I ran, maybe 5 miles? My gps batteries are charging so I can't look it up right now, but that sounds about right.

7/6 I ran 7 miles today all by my lonesome! I missed running with K., who was out of town, but I thought about her and managed the distance alone this time.

Hopefully I'll get back on track this week with training runs.
