Another day, another 10 miler. With morning classes then a 5 hour break until my next class I finished my sluggish feeling/never too comfortable run before noon leaving me an option of a second run today. It's the 31st day of the month and I've as of right now run 311 miles for the month which is almost exactly 10 miles a day/70 miles a week. Seems pretty decent mileage but I really should have been up averaging in the upper 70's with only one race this month that I backed away for. Over the next few months I won't be able to get the mileage up there so I'm hoping I've built a good enough base. SICK! Fuse channel is playing the Social Distortion video for 'Ball and Chain,' one of my favorite songs ever! I've never seen this on tv before. I love the Fuse channel. One of my favorite lines from the song is 'you can run all your life, but not go anywhere.' Right now I feel school is my ball and chain and I gotta get away. I'm rambling.

Got in a double run after classes. Felt ok not terribly great but still managed a decent clip. The right achilles seemed a little sore which I guess could be expected. The achilles is always the indicator for overtraining and by my count in the last 5 days I've logged 66 miles (>13 a day) while for the past month I've been averaging exactly 10 a day. Throw in a race and a workout in those 5 days and the achilles is destined to get set off. But I front loaded the week on purpose and now can take two big time down days heading into Saturdays 10k. |
