Week 7


My best week yet! 22.5 miles covered including a solid 7m run on Saturday and 3 runs at 3miles + outside. Things are definitely going well, I am feeling strong and aside from a few aches and pains in my legs I am injury free.

My mileage increases another 1.5 miles this week and will continue that way for the next 3 weeks until I start my formal training on June 30th.

The 'heat is on' in Arizona... We hit 110f for the first time today and the lows are now over 80f. My outdoor runs are of course in the mornings, it is way too hot in the evening and I can take advantage of the shade in the complex we are living in right now.

I am a little concerned that I will let my training slip this week, on Wednesday in particular. I am travelling to California with work for the day, leaving at 6.30am and not returning until after 8pm. Not sure when I will fit that days run in, it's 4.5 miles so will take around 35 minutes, either an early morning or a late night!

I got my new shoes today, my wifey tells me they look like a lizard, she's kind of got a point. You'll definitely see me coming :)
