Well, I did much better this week. In fact, I think that I’m going to give myself an A. I did the proscribed workout every day that I was supposed to this week. Even though I wasn’t able to hit my target pace again, on Saturday, I blame it partially on the miles that I did on the bike, the previous day. And on Sunday, I (accidentally) threw in an extra mile (in the rain). So, in the effort category, I definitely deserve an A this week. I have to say though, mileage-wise, this training program seems a little too easy compared to the one that I did last year. I guess we will see how it does. If my pace doesn’t start dropping in another couple of weeks, I will switch it up. Here are my running totals from the last week-
Count: 6 Activities
Distance: 36.13 mi
Time: 04:48:56 h:m:s
Elevation Gain: 3,158 ft
Avg Speed: 7.5 mph
Calories: 5,217 C
Here are my totals, including biking-
Count: 10 Activities
Distance: 70.39 mi
Time: 07:12:54 h:m:s
Elevation Gain: 4,415 ft
Avg Speed: 9.8 mph
Calories: 8,917 C
Two notable experiences this week: On Saturday, while running in Jersey, I saw a huge dead alligator snapping turtle. It was freaky looking. Now I finally believe Reagan’s story about seeing a gator cross the road on the Sprain Parkway. On Sunday my run was in Central Park, it was overcast and light rain for most of my run, until the last 3 miles, which turned into the craziest thunderstorm, ever. It was raining so hard that I couldn’t even hear my feet sloshing on the ground.
Here is what is on tap for this week–

.:About Me, and my blog, and stuff:.
I really like that you do this post when you do. Its totally a good little motivator. Maybe next year I’ll be geared up to run races with you guys.. I hope so…
A+! Keep up the great work. It’s impressive (and motivating) for sure!
Jake poppet – how did your lovely post abut Holly’s apartment get the tag “nerdy stuff” and this post didn’t? made me smile though, thanks. This week I did four times around the Hamptons (don’t get excited – in the UK that’s nothing special – not likely to run into Martha Stewart or Ina Garten there) then today the seafront in Weston Super Mare. It was blowing a hooley, but I was happy
Happy weekend to the B family, have a good one xx
