I'm on a roll!

Nice. I need to focus on my step. When I was more cognizant a couple weeks ago I was focusing on striking at the instep (along my big toe). I haven't been as focused on that and my ankles are getting a little sore from the volume of running I've done this week. I'll probably do another mile tonight and focus on that step (and no heel strike!) taking it nice and slow (6.0 mph). Tomorrow I'll do a HIIT routine.

I decided to take yesterday off. I could use the break, and my foot is getting sore from this higher volume of running. I think I'll take the mileage down next week and do more biking and stairs and maybe try track running next weekend.

448 + 1 = 449 miles

PT: 39.5 miles

449 + 5 = 454

Ugh. I did a half mile as part of my warm up before I did a HIIT routine so painful I'm too tired to explain it; let's just say there was a lot of jumping and leg stuff. Then when I was walking to the sauna I saw this cute chick on the treadmill, so I thought what the hell. Ironically, she jumps off just as I'm getting on, so I suffered another half mile just for the pain of it. Now I'm so exhausted the fried fish my roommate cooked just smells disgusting to me! I just want water and sleep now!!

454 + 1 = 455 miles

PT: 40.5 miles

Nice story lol That's one of the perks of working out at a gym Unfortunately, I'm also one of the guys that'll come out of the sauna (right next to a row of treadmills) and hang out w/o a shirt. Not what the ladies ask for ^_^

My right knee is starting to tense up after this run. I've been under sleeping, stressed to the point of tears, but still trying to get my workouts in. Still haven't lost any weight, though. Go figure. Today's run I wanted to step it up. I could have done a 20 min 2 miles at 6.0 mph. Instead, I started at 6.0 and went up 0.1 every minute to 7.0 for 10-11. Then i went down 0.1 every minute, except I had to stop and take a break twice. At that point I was "overheating" like my car did yesterday (part of the stress)! I did a 9:10 pace for that 2 miles but still ran for 20 total. Walked 5 to cool down, then did some ad/abductor workouts before I quit (also strained the knee).

460 + 2 = 462 miles

PT: 42.5 miles

Wasn't really planning on running at all, but I'm monitoring my weekly totals, so a half didn't seem too bad. Except I did it at 7.5 mph (8 min pace)! I did elliptical for 5, quickly to work on my turn over (cadence) and finished with 10 minutes of biking. The adductor/abductor workout I mentioned yesterday is with me today! My butt feels solid, but sore! lol I need to do that more often ^_^

462 + 0.5 = 462.5 miles

Now that prelims are over I might actually get back to a decent running schedule!

471.5 + 1 = 472.5 miles

Best 5 minute elliptical warm up yet: averaged 185 spm cadence. Then was going to do a half mile at 6.5 mph. Felt strong, so I did 7.5 mph. Felt like I could keep going, but I didn't want to overdo it. So I biked probably my hardest 5 minutes, also. Thighs were burning and I was soaked in sweat. Still felt strong, so I went back and did another half at 7.5 mph. Well, I did 4 min each time and 6-6.5 mph for the last minute. That's my fastest mile (8 min) since my recovery and probably all year! I still feel like I could do more! This is also my 4th day in a row working out and running. I've gone 6 of the last 7 days. 8 of the last 10. And I've done 9 days this month (9 of 14). Not bad! I will do my HIIT routine this week tomorrow with a shoulder and ab emphasis. I think my legs need a break and the last 2 days were killer chest and back workouts. I also haven't eaten as much lately and I've finally dropped a couple of lbs (literally, 2). At least one thing is going well in my life this summer.

472.5 + 1.0 = 473.5 miles

Hey, way to go on the long run!

Thanks halfnormal, but unfortunately that was three separate 3 mile runs. I'm working my way up to longer distances again. My dr. said not to do any anaerobic training so it's taking forever to get my pace down.

Dason congrats on getting through the prelims. Sounds like a brutal few months.

My wife's parents gave her an iPhone for some reason. I think I'll give this Nike+ thing a try.
