This blog is about my running experience. I am not a physician, nutritionist or personal trainer. I am a runner. I do not know it all. I am only writing from my own experiences. I finished my first marathon on June 3, 2012. Who knows where my feet will take me next!

Another Week at Home

This is the longest stretch that I have been at home since January.  I had a good week and even rode my bike twice!  That half marathon I mentioned yesterday?  Didn't happen.  I wanted to do it, but my legs were dead.  Completely.  I ended up just walking!  My only rest day this week was Monday, so I just didn't have the energy.  I am happy to report no knee pain, so that's a bonus!

Sunday - Walked 3.76 miles in 1:00:32, 16:07 pace
I had a strong run on Saturday so this was a recovery walk.

Monday - Rest Day

Tuesday - Ran 7.0 miles in 1:32:19, 13:11 pace
This was a fun one - I ran 2.5 miles on the road, then 2.5 miles on the trail and finished with 2 miles on the road.  It felt good to just follow a whim!

Wednesday - Rode 9.94 miles in 1:06:45, 8.9 mph
This is the first time I had been on my bike since March 14th!  Les rode with me and kept a very stead pace, not too fast, and I felt pretty good.

Thursday - Ran 6.45 miles in 1:23:36, 12:58 pace
This run started out pretty good but quickly deteriorated due to old shoes.

Friday - Ran 3.01 miles in 39:51, 13:16 pace
Tested out my new shoes.  Knee pain was still noticeable, but I think that was just lingering from Thursday's run.
Also rode 8.75 miles in 48:02, 10.9 mph
This was on the road instead of the trail.

Saturday - Walked 6.37 miles in 1:35:57, 15:04 pace
I could tell just a mile or two in that a long run wasn't going to happen.  My legs felt so heavy and my energy level was low.  Definitely should have taken it easier on Friday.

Totals for this week:
Ran 16.46
Walked 10.13 
Biked 18.69
Total 45.28 miles
