The Weekend Rundown

night run along Lake Front Trail, Chicago

Well, training last week didn't quite go according to my schedule.  Here's what happened.

          Schedule           Reality
Mon      rest                rest
Tues      7                     0
Wed      4                     7.12
Thurs     7                    5.92
Fri         rest                rest
Sat        16                   15.85
Sun       5                     9.08
Total     39                  37.97

Sooo ummm yeah.  At least I managed to get close to my total miles for the week.  Only downside is that both of my feet are in some pain from what I hope is just general soreness and not stress injuries due to over training.  The week before, my total mileage was only 18.64, so I increased it by 20 to get back on schedule for January. I know I am risking some injury by doing that, but the distances I ran last week were nothing new leaving me almost certain I can continue on without really hurting myself (fingers crossed).  I guess we'll see if I can make it through this week.  Here's the routine.

Mon       Rest
Tues       5
Wed       3
Thurs    7
Fri          Rest
Sat         18
Sun        5

See you at the finish line!
