Still Sore

Posted on Aug 17th, 2008 by Beagle : Questionizer Beagle
I ran five and a half miles today so my weekly total was 46 miles.  And that included two days of only two miles.  The first of those two days I turned around and decided to take the day off, but it meant I had to run Saturday.  On Saturday I went for a good two mile hike but I counted it.  We got back too late for me to run.

Now that I am back to work my running pattern should be somewhat set for a the next five weeks.  I will take Monday off, run the next three days, take Friday off, then run long on Saturday and Sunday.  It sounds simple but it takes a lot of time.  With both of us back to work for the school year, it may not be so simple.

It is only five weeks, however.  I need to remember that as I take time away from my family for myself.  That isn't easy to do.  I also need to remember, however, that running 50 miles is something that can teach my children about endurance and challenge and believing in oneself.  

And then to go for 100.  But not until next year.
