Ten Weeks of Training

Posted September 25, 2012

Ten down, six to go…

The switch back to a more cushioned shoe seems to be paying off in the knee pain department. Due to the busy high school reunion schedule, I had to compress runs in a three day window, running 9 on Friday, 10 on Saturday and 20 on Sunday (43 total miles for week ten).

Week eleven is almost exactly the same, but with travel for work on Sunday, the long run will have to move up a day. Anxious to see how the short four miles feels tonight, but I’m cautiously optimistic that the worst of the pain is behind me…

The problem is all inside your head she said to me…

That was way more trouble than I wanted today – off to pick up the wife, then dinner with John and Cathy before ONJ at the Guthrie

Depricated <IfDefine WEBSHARING_ON> tags and the old mysql.sock issue were the culprits, it seems

Well, so much for getting up early for today’s long run – guess I’ll see how far the Vikings get behind, then go

Really looking forward to the new Mumford and Sons album
