Ugh

Not the greatest week, got a 10 mile run in on Friday which might have been the worst one ever.  Took me forever to to finish....I average 8:30 for the first 4 miles then about 10:00 for the last 6.  It was hot and and after a long day at work.

Today I ran a solid 15 miles....better than last week.  Now I am in some major pain, not sure what to do.  My right knee is really hurting me while I run up hill...probably going to have that looked at soon.

Two weeks....getting better

It has been a while since I posted on here so here is an update:

Two weekends ago I played in a VB tourney in Buffalo (Saturday) lost in playoffs, played in Cranberry Championships (Sunday) lost in championship game, play regular season VB game in Wexford (Monday) won one.  Not that great but I started losing some serious weight.  Tuesday I did 8 miles but I should have/could have done more.

This past weekend I did 15 miles and played VB in Cranberry.  I am down about 5 lbs right now and on my way to getting ready for this terrible marathon I should not have signed up for...

Tough right now

Had a really nice 8.3 mile run Tuesday but somehow hurt my foot.  I took Wednesday off to rest it so I could take a long run today.  Well for once the meteorologist was right....RAIN, RAIN and more RAIN.

So now I get to run on the treadmill...oh happy day....I cannot wait for my boredom to kick in about mile 3.

Want a good laugh?  Here is the pick they took at the Spring Thaw:

Mile 10

Yes that is my gut....yes I am have sweatshirt wrapped around me...yes I am not happy.

Tough week

My motivation hit a low last week, I only ran 4 miles.  Somehow I need to get back into the swing of things but now the weather is not cooperating....not happy.

I brought clothes to run in but the wind chill is going to be 22 this afternoon.  I am glad I have VB tonight to fall back on but I really needed to do both.  Unfortunately it looks like I will be on my treadmill running many miles instead of running outside:
Tuesday - 7 miles
Wednesday - 4 miles
Thursday - 6 miles

Saturday - 13 miles (I have a VB tourney on Saturday and VB playoffs on Sunday...not sure how I am going to fit this one in)
