Week 3

Week 3 was my most solid week of training yet. I really feel like I'm back into the groove of running everyday, and my legs are starting to adjust well to the miles. The main problem I've had the past 2 weeks is just sore shins and also having to deal with the Iona athletic department. It seems that getting released can be more of a pain in the ass than training ever could be. But thats how it goes I guess, anyway this is how the week broke down in terms of running:

Sunday: Went 7miles in 49 minutes. Felt good, was probably going faster than 7min pace but I just added on until I got to 49minutes. Won't hurt me in the long run.


Monday: Today the weather got a little warmer, I went 8 miles in 55minutes. Felt good and wasn't pushing it at all.


Tuesday: Ran with Fennell at night, felt pretty good. Did 7miles in about 49minutes. Didn't have a watch so I just estimated how long it takes to get from his house to mine then added on.

Wednesday:  Ran 7miles in 48minutes. My shins were pretty sore today. My shins usually get sore whenever my training starts to get serious in terms of mileage and pace.

Thursday: Ran 9 miles in 61minutes. Today I felt really good. My breathing was fine, my legs were a little sore again but nothing serious. Really good day

Friday: Ran 7miles in 47minutes. Felt great again, shins were still sore. I've been icing and taking ibuprofin so I don't think it's really anything serious. Just gotta get through these next few weeks and it will go away.

Saturday: I just went 5 miles really easy in 35minutes. Figured I should start to get in the habit of taking one easy day a week.

Week Total: 50miles
