A little over 42 for me (but I am still in my five week recovery period from my last marathon).

Mon- Off
Tue- 6 miles easy
Wed- 9 mile Moderate
Thu- Off
Fri- 8 miles Moderate
Sat- 6 miles easy
Sun- 13.27 -- ran with a new running club which pushed me a bit faster than I would have liked. Ended up a bit faster than a general aerobic run. However, some of those miles were DEFINITELY faster than marathon pace. Oh well, nice run...

Aside from the freezing rain, I felt ok. It was an easy run, because tomorrow is a workout.

95 miles for the week

Finally seem to be getting completely healthy and back to where I can really make some progress with my training. Looking forward to starting some faster stuff over the next few weeks and then racing on the track for the first time in several years.

Recovery Week for me:

Monday: 8 miles easy (6:48)
Tuesday: 10 miles easy (6:44)
Wednesday: "7 miles" on the elliptical (6:27)
Thursday:AM 6 miles easy (7:04) PM "5 miles" elliptical(6:19)
Friday: 10 miles total (6:31) 10 x 400 Splits were: 78, 73, 75, 74, 74, 74, 73, 74, 73, 72.
Saturday: 10 miles (6:33)
Sunday: 16 miles (6:43)

Week Total: 60 miles running (6:43) + 12 miles on elliptical

It was hard to get motivated for me this week. It was my first week back to work after 2 weeks of vacation. Still managed some decent running though.

About Me[/URL" target="_blank">

Thinks continue to be a little rocky for me. I was aiming for 100 mi this week, thought the sciatic pain I'd had since running over a week on SHARPLY crowned roads over Christmas was on the decline. However, during my recovery between tempo intervals on Thursday my hip locked up and I had to limp 6 miles home in severe pain.
After 2 days off I ran an easy but very, very painful 6 on Sunday. Turned out to be a good idea as it loosened my periformis muscle up and relieved some of the pain. I guess I just have to run through this one as it actually does better when I'm running than taking time off.
I have my first indoor race of the year Saturday (3000m) and am not looking forward to it. I haven't been this out of shape in years, and have only done 1 track workout (8X800 this week, 2:32 avg ).

My legs feel tired after this week. More of the same planned for this week with an easy day on Sat. in prep. for a local 1/2 marathon this Sunday, my first race since last May!

Sun- 3.3 easy to ring in the New Year
Mon- rest
Tues- 1/2 mile warm up/cool down; 10 mile paced run on treadmill in 1:11 (83% HR ave)
Wed- 9.3 miles including 3 x 2k at 87-92% HR
Thurs- 18.1 easy miles am; 6.9 miles pm including 2 x 200m, 2 x 1k at 90-95% HR
Fri- rest
Sat- 11 easy miles including 7 x 300m steep hill bounding

60 total

Good luck to those racing in Houston and elsewhere!

Well I've been battling a pulled back, sinues, and full blown flu over the last 2+ weeks. So this isn't much of a start...but at least I'm out there.

M- 30mins
T- 30mins
W- 30mins
R- 36mins
F- 40mins
S- dnr
S- 50mins + push ups

That's roughly 32miles. I was planning for a spring marathon. Now I'm just trying to get up to 50 mpw and see where I can go from there.
