My Week On The Run...

Another week in the books... A slight build from last week, but that's fine; in my mind, the name of the game at this point is staying healthy, so fewer miles is not big deal... That said, since it was such a slight build, I might try for one more high mileage week before tapering down.  We shall see, I suppose...

Also, I managed to re-name the facebook page for the upcoming run to Sumatanga:

The miles:

Sunday (4/28):
9
1:16:12
4 before youth easy, 5 after very easy with Aaron.

Monday (4/29):
10
1:17:08
Legs a little heavy to start, but loosened up nicely.
More traffic than usual; road work on Holmes to dodge.

Tuesday (4/30):
14
1:59:05
10 solo (1:18:09), then 4 easy with Anna.  Felt fine; legs a little dead at the end.

Wednesday (5/1):
7
52:35
3 before youth (22:24) and 4 after with Aaron.  Easy effort with quickened pace toward the ends of both runs.

Thursday (5/2):
6
46:41
TN River really high, so flooded parts of Pt. Mallard trail around ankle-shin deep.  First time a fish of any appreciable size has ever had to swim out of my way while running...

Friday (5/3):
6
46:22
Easy around Huntsville.  Very windy.


Saturday (5/4):
12
1:24:15
