I had a decent week. It started out slow but ended up with a bang. Wink

Weds - 5.46 m Sat - 6.22 m Sun - 3.19 m total - 14.9 m I'm really happy with Saturday's 10K. That is a distance that seemed to be a huge mental barrier for me. I could get to 5.5 but never seemed to get myself over that 6 mile mark. (I just needed the incentive of knowing that a couple of buddies from my running group ran a 10K race when I was away on vacation. Did I mention that I'm competitive? LOL) Sending lots of get healthy vibes out to those of you fighting illnesses.

Last week was my biggest week so far. I split one 'long' day into 2 shorter days to get myself up to 4 days of running and managed to pull a BIG number - 12.4 miles. Ok, big for me. Smile

Mon - 3.8 mi Wed - 3.3 mi Fri - 2.6 mi Sat - 2.7 mi The bunny is still about 10 miles ahead of me, but I've got 46 weeks to catch the little hopper. Now that I'm up to 12 miles per week, I should be able to do that by the end of the year. {{{{{{ everyone on the injured or sick list }}}}}

Thurs ~~ 1.5 on TM Sun ~~ 1.5 on TM for a whooping total of 3 miles last week. At best I'll get 6 miles a week for now but it is better than nothing.

My schedule was similar to Gayle's last week: Mon - regular run, felt fine, enjoying the new shoes. Tues - 102 degree fever all day Wed - more of same Thurs - so sick of being SICK Fri - did a short run, went back to work . . . got sicker . . . Sat. - When will it end??? Sun - Sick, sick, sick. Walked some, didn't log it. Urgh! Does the bunny get sick sometime too? I did get a short run in this morning. I've got a 10k this coming Sunday. Confused

I think I'll still run it -- if nothing else I need the miles!!!

Teresa and Nonoeuna, you gals are on fire! Way to go! David, hope you are feeling better! I am and was stupid and did a 2 mile run in the rain today. Felt GREAT but hoping the "crud" doesn't come back. I like the pic you have with your son. Looks like he's going to be a runner too. Big grin

Natalie, congrats on your 10K! Woo Hoo! I was thinking of a 10K this Sat, but think I might back down to the 5K because of being ill and the icky weather. So you planning on another any time soon? Kelli, way to bunny hunt! Cherrie, how's the knee doing? Is it taking the treadmill ok? Annie, feel better soon. This stuff is deadly! Gayle Big grin

I had a busy week at work last week. Had my performance review from a very critical boss which eats into my self-esteem. So, after being reemed out for being a slacker, I had an absolutely smoking run on Tuesday night Big grin

Then I wimped out due to weather conditions and social obligations until Saturday when I HTFU and went for a long run (10k) in crummy conditions. Then wimped out again in 80mph winds and -22C windchill to run on the treadmill on Sunday. But, when I was on the treadmill, I decided to see how fast I could really go for a while and that was fun, then I played around with the elevation. I have resolved to not call it the dreadmill anymore!

I hadn't really planned on it but I did almost six miles tonight with my running class. It was a run/walk but that seems to be predominantly what I'm doing now anyway. I do think it is funny that I'm faster doing a 3/1:15 run/walk than I was doing 5/1s on my own. Tongue

Gayle ~~ Thanks for asking. The knee isn't wonderful yet so I'm keeping my runs under 2 miles at a time. I just started taking gluclosamine and I'm hoping that it has an effect (I know that it will take awhile so I'll try to be patient).

Getting back into the swing after some shin problems. This week is C25K week 5. Slowly ramping up the miles. Looking forward to moving ahead to hour runner, adding a fourth day, and sneaking up on that bunny. You folks are inspiring.
