I have changed my workout schedules to include more off or easy days. It hasn't necessarily helped as much as I would have liked as my 3.5 mile run ended up with me having a SORE kneecap (my former bad knee) again. So this week, I have 3.5 miles and advil in.

I am also semi-regretting I didn't do the Dam2Dam 20k Saturday like my goal was, but I just wasn't ready. I never made my long runs as I intended. I made 7 miles, but not close enough to the 12 miles required. I am motivated however again to do the Half Marathon upcoming in the fall. Hopefully, I might be a bit more accountable this time.

OH OH count me in 5 miles today YAY me my legs are like lead from my leg weight routine on monday but, it still felt good to run. My HR is so low when I run now it's pretty cool. I never go over 150 which rocks.

2.5 miles early, and around 2 miles later walking carrying a heavy bag, metal instruments of mental torture, and little white balls.

Re: Cool Running for the week of June 4-11

I'm not dead! Still running, though it has taken me a while to get back in shape after the mono. I was basically sedentary for 6 weeks, and the first night back after I felt better saw me barely able to make 2 miles. It has come back fairly quickly though, which is nice. I'm planning to do a fast 5k tonight and see how my speed is, and then start marathon training in the next two weeks. I might settle for the half if I think I need to take it easy, but that's okay. These days I'm just thrilled to be able to run at all.
