At Barnes and Noble, trying out the Nook.
Finished week 18 of running with the total of 9 miles. I am feeling better and leveling off at my pre vacation pace. Today I ran on around the track and was a first time in a while when I did not feel tightness in my right knee and shin. Would like to get to 4 days per week of running instead of 3. That means that I have to work in a run on Wednesdays, either during lunch of before work.
Speaking of that, I was able to get up at 5:30 am three out of five days last week. Will try to make it four this week. When I did manage to get up I felt great, and mostly productive. The experiment continues.
Running, Week 17
I finished my 17th week of running since I started training. I finally feel like I am getting back to my pre-holiday shape. Today was a second 3.2 mile around Astoria Park without breaks and I felt pretty good. I got tired after the first lap, but I was able to rest a bit during the downhill portion of the second 1.6 lap and finished without a problem. I felt a little bit of discomfort in my right shin again. Will try to run with the knee brace next time, and see if that makes a difference. I feel pumped for the busy week ahead.
Finally had a nice 3.2 mile run around Astoria part without taking any breaks. Feels good. I am excited to get back to my 4 times per week running schedule.
