Weekly Run Down: 7/19/10-7/25/10

Time Spent Running: 7 hours 11 minutes 27 seconds

Total Mileage: 50.5 miles

Strength Training: 3 weight sessions, plus core exercises

Elliptical: 1x, 65 minutes

Hey, remember when I used to recount my running week?  Probably not since I haven’t done it since January.  Yesterday’s 8 mile run in much less humid weather (77% instead of the usual 90% or so) put me over the 50 mpw mark.  I figured it was time for a celebratory Run Down.

I’m still slow, but I’m trucking along.  My knee has good days and bad days and sometimes other body parts hurt too, but that’s all part of increasing mileage and fixing my biomechanics.  Speaking of biomechanics, I think that’s going fairly well but my ART doctor will be watching me run again in a week and then I will know a bit more. 

Today I did elliptical for 66 minutes.  I was so into West Wing that I think I would have stayed on and watched the 8 AM episode too if I didn’t have an appointment this morning. 

Do you have a pile of running shoes by your door?  I’m so sad that this picture of Milo lounging in my shoe pile turned out so blurry.

  • you are ready to rock! yay for the return of the weekly run down :) and i think that in order to have a pile of running shoes by my door that would mean i need to own more than one pair/not put so many miles on one pair ahaha.

  • congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) i suppose in order to capture milo you’ve gotta be pretty speedy with the camera!!

  • Congrats on 50 miles!

    I have a pile of running shoes by my door as well. I trip on them way too often ;)

  • yup, right now i’ve got 3 pairs of running shoes and my bike shoes by my door… and i’m not even running :(

  • I ate it pretty hard falling over my running shoes pile once, so now I limit my door pile to one pair. Nice going on that 50.5, you’re on the up!

  • By the door, in my closet, by the back door, etc. My roommates don’t sit in my shoes adorably, however. Although that would be pretty odd.

  • Congrats! Heck, you are running more miles than me and I’m supposed to be in training. :-) So glad to see those numbers go up and the pace going down.

    Until my other pair of trainers show up, I would not advise anyone to get anywhere near my Nike Zoom Elites. Grimness.
