Hey gang! I just wanted to see how everyone did over the past week w/your respective training/maint. mileage.

I had a pretty strange week of running. I had a string of 14 consecutive days in row going, but had the streak broken due to a long Tues. at work. I then missed Wed. b/c the legs felt a little dinged up, and missed Thurs., again due to work. 5 on Friday got the juices going again and I managed 6.5 on Saturday.

Then yesterday happened.

The plan was for a 10.5 mile run on a new route I mapped out a few weeks ago. I hadn't run more than 8.5 miles in over a month, but felt like I needed to stretch one run out a bit. With the week being low on mileage, I figured Sunday would be perfect to add a couple of miles to the run.

Yeah...my dumb arse got lost half way through the run and I turned a 10.5 mile run into a 14.1 mile run. I the immortal words of Homer,

Doh.

It looks great for the weekly mileage, but my legs were ANGRY at me last night. Hoofing it up and down stairs wrapping gifts was an absolute chore. ESPECIALLY the downward direction. My wife took no pity on me either and kept refering to me the rest of the night as "Magellan".

Anyway, that was my week that was. How did yours go?

Ack! I hope your legs feel better now!

My mileage in recent weeks has been sort of "meh" between my brother's grad school graduation and Christmas. I hope to do a long run tomorrow and start getting my miles back up before Winter really turns things miserable.
