Week 5- Oct 12 - 18, 2008

Last day of week 5 and you know what that means.... long run. So this afternoon Carrie and I went to Bradley Lake Park, she walked with Rainey (our dog) and I ran. 3.25 miles with zero pain thank you very much! I was amazed how a day of rest could make such a difference in my strength and endurance. All week I have been running at the Y and hurting the whole time, I took Friday off and did nothing. Then today I felt like I could have ran all day. Hopefully that trend continues. This next week will start with a day in the pool and then the runs are only 2 miles according to my running plan. The plan backs off the mileage just a bit this week and then increases again the next week. Next weeks long run is 3.75 miles and the weather is supposed to be nice again so I will run at Bradley Lake Park.
