Two Weeks and NADA…
Well, I ran 3.1 miles with Donna on Wednesday of last week but for two weeks there wasn’t anything good to report.
This week is another week though right?

This week’s Totals
It was a measly 14.2 miles.
I was fighting ’something’ through the week. Sore throatish/ear infection maybe. Bad stomach issues - which continue today. God, help me!
On Sunday I was planning a 9 miler which started around 4PM. By 3.75 I was like, “If I don’t turn around now, I’ll never make it back home.”
This 9 miler was a tribute to Steve Danlag for running the San Diego Rock and Roll Marathon that I proposed we run together - but I didn’t train for.
Sorry, bud. Next year!
My heart rate was way high for a longer run like this: high 180s bmp… I had a burst of energy at mile 5 which… It was the song “Vertigo” by U2 that got my heart pumping and my energy going. I picked up the pace, and gave it some serious effort. It lasted about a minute or so and then I had to slow down.
There were a bunch of 30 second walks but all together I was able to finish a solid 8 miles.
I wanted to get miles in for the week and projected close to 25 but didn’t have it in me. I nearly threw up my arms and said, no run Sunday, but got off my butt and fit it in while Donna took Jake to Performance Class. I made it back home as they got home, got showered, and met Dale, Dasie and Chip for a rib dinner at Wood Ranch Bar and Grill. Yum.
This week - its not about miles. It’s about hills.
For 3 years I’ve neglected speed training. This year is going to be different.
