re: Official Running Log/Marathon Training Thread

Years ago I ran 2-3 miles a day while working out of town. Haven't exercised for a couple of years. I told myself I would begin to walk once daylight savings began. So far so good. I clocked 18 miles for the week two weeks ago and this past week I had 24 miles. Saturdays and Sundays I get in a couple of walks, rotating with the family members. Sunday I walked on 2 occasions and my first run in years. It was only 1 mile and a quarter but it's a start. 1.25 walk and run last night and again tonight. Front calves, whatever they are called were a little stressed at the end but I walked it off. 9:50 pace each run Let's hope I keep it up! Yard work and exercise, thanks Corona.

Much better four-miler today: 33:20 (8:20/mile). I was really struggling yesterday for whatever reason. Maybe it was lower back pain, the significant sustained winds of about 10 - 15 mph blowing in my face (#giggity), ramping up weekday mileage (I've run so far 16 miles this week and never more than 11 on average in the past), or maybe I'm just a big ol' pussy. I'm not sure what it was yesterday, but I'm glad I could get back on track today. I had a very nice first two miles and got it in under 16 minutes. I slowed pretty good thereafter however. I hope to be more consistent on Saturday when I run another eight.

Hope y'all are doing well.
