Week of Dec. 13th - 19th, 2004

Monday 12/13 Ran 30 minutes
7pm- ran 30 minutes to test the ankle. A little tight, but ok
4 miles

Tuesday 12/14
4pm- ran 45 minutes to test the ankle. Felt good.
7 miles

Wednesday 12/15
4pm- ran 60 minutes with Barry on Town Lake. Initially, I was only going to run 45, but the ankle felt good enough to go longer.
9 miles

Thursday 12/16
6pm- ran 70 minutes steady with Ben and Barry. The ankle felt fine, but they started trying to hammer me midway through the run. I did not try to match them.
11 miles

Friday 12/17
11am- ran 10 min warmup and cool down. Barry and I did Lydiard-type hills bounding. We did 3 sets of three types of bounds up the LBJ library hill. Probably not a good idea to do these so early after the injury because the ankle was too tired to run in the afternoon

Saturday 12/18
4pm- ran 70 minutes steady alone. I ran from the house to Town Lake and did the usual loop with a 10 minute add-on. The ankle felt surprisingly good: no more hills for a while.
11 miles

Sunday 12/19
11am- I ran 80 minutes hard on Town Lake. Last 4 miles I averaged 5:45 on the dot.
14 miles

Week Total – 59 miles
