Went skiing at Bradford ski area with my daughter Caityln. It was a great time!
1/3 Tuesday: 8.2 miles in 60 minutes
Ran the Shawsheen River Trails in Andover. Felt pretty good and being able to get into the trails in January is great!
1/4 Wednesday: AM: 4 miles in 32 minutes PM: 7 miles in 53 minutes
AM: Easy treadmill running. It was too cold to venture outside.
PM: More of the same...easy treadmill running. This was my first double in a very long time. The foot seemed pretty good with it.
1/5 Thursday: 8.5 miles in 62 minutes
Easy running from the Whirlaway with CMS teammate Mike Quintal. Great night for running and the foot felt really good.
1/6 Friday: 8 miles in 64 minutes
Easy running along the Shawsheen River trails. Great running weather out there. Very slow going though. I needed a real easy day.
1/7 Saturday: 4 miles in 32 minutes
Very easy treadmill running very early in the morning. Then it was off to Bretton Woods for some skiing with my favorite little skier.
1/8 Sunday: 12 miles in 87 minutes
Great day for a run! Started out nice and easy and finished up with my last three miles under 7 minute pace. All while feeling very relaxed. The foot even felt good today, barely even thought about it the whole run.
Total Miles: 51.7 + 2 days of skiing
I am very happy with this first week of 2012. The mileage wasn't high, the runs were not fast, but the foot was well behaved and I got in all the running I planned on. Goals for the rest of January: 1. Keep healthy and keep working on the foot to maintain pain free running. 2. Consistency in training, run 50+ miles a week for the rest of January working up to 60 miles a week. 3. Start some kind of strength training, 2-3 times a week. If anyone has a great strength program for endurance athletes please let me know!
