It took about two weeks for my hip problem to fade enough to actually run with some amount of consistency, so the two weeks previous to this one were not great. On the order of 30 milesish not great. But here I am, now atop the monstrous mileage heights of 50 a week, and feeling good (or at least better).

I had a sneaking suspicion that given the kind of trouble I was having running workouts that I might have needed to throw the towel in entirely. I am supremely glad that this is not the case. I'm looking forward to a long winter of freezing warmups and 3k pace intervals with Mr. McCann hammering away with me.

Here's what went down this week.

Sun: off
Mon: 61 mins / 8.5 mi
Cleveland Res.
Tue: 56 mins / 7.75 mi
Cleveland Res.
Wed: 7 miles warmup & cooldown
10 x 400 70R mostly 69's and 70's, one 68
9.5 mi total
Reggie was kinda busy, but at least there weren't masters runners jogging 5 lanes wide.
Thu: 59 mins / 7.75 mi
Cleveland Res.
extremely cold, wish I had a beard still.
Fri: 6 miles warmup & cooldown
8 x 600 1:45R 1:45-1:46 the whole way with Steveo. Reggie was empty after the meet, which was MUY awesome.
Saturday: 8.5 mi / 61 mins
Went up to Cold Spring with Will, almost punted a small dog. We also discussed that our preferred family car is one of these.

total: 51 miles, 363 minutes
