What a Week!

This was a pitiful week running wise!  I guess I needed a "taper" week, because I sure got it!

Sunday - Rested
Sunday is often a rest day for me - not always, probably 50-50.

Monday - walked 2 miles
Essentially another rest day!  I had a dentist appointment and walked there.

Tuesday - Ran 1.48 miles in 18:19, 12:24 pace
This is when my week went south!  Just after the one mile mark, I tripped.  I went flying and landed on both hands and knees.  Bloodied and battered, I limped home.  My right hand is still a mess today and I have multiple bruises.  I don't know if I'm getting klutzier the closer I get to 50, or if I was just really tired and would have benefited more from another rest day.

Wednesday - Rested

Thursday - Walked 2.4 miles
This was a trip to the grocery store.  By the time I got home, my bandages were slipping off.  Humidity + bandages = lots of slippage.

Friday - Ran 3.91 miles in 53:02, 13:34 pace
The first mile didn't feel too bad, then my left ankle started hurting.  I may have twisted it on Tuesday and not realized it because of other more painful parts of my body!
Also walked 2.1 miles.

Saturday - Rested
I am meeting Les (and his bicycle) at the North Shore later today and we may do a little hiking.

The totals for this week are awful, but I'm alive with no broken bones and I'll be running again soon!

Running 5.39
Walking 6.50
Total 11.89
