Week of May 9th - 15th, 2005

Monday 5/9
8pm- I ran 60 minutes on Town Lake from the 0.0. I ran pretty hard, it was dark, but running 6:15’s or so. My legs are feeling tired, need a new pair of shoes.
9.5 miles

Tuesday 5/10
6pm- I showed up to practice today for the first time in ages. It was a good feeling. I did all the warmup stuff, and then ran 60 minutes from the track to TL on my own since the guys were doing a workout. Once on TL I was running 6:05-6:10, legs still feel tired and inflexible. I have to work on this. Did some hurdle drills and lunges afterwards.
9.5 miles

Wednesday 5/11
6pm- Again today I went to practice. I did the drills and then drove down to 0.0 and met Flo 20 minutes into his run. We then ran Greenbelt which was really refreshing. It was a very good effort today. I do need to lose a few pounds though. I’m getting on a diet.
9 miles

Thursday 5/12
12pm- I ran 35 minutes today with Flo again. We ran a shoal creek loop. My foot was hurting. I really think it wasn’t the bone though, I think it’s the new shoes even though they are elites. I will take tomorrow off to be sure and cautious
5 miles

Friday 5/13
OFF
0 miles

Saturday 5/14
12pm- I decided to put my orthotics back in the elites, like I did last year. It was a great run with Barry and Flo from 0.0 to the Greenbelt for 63 minutes total. Even the last mile was 5:50. I felt great and there was no foot pain at all.
9 miles

Sunday 5/15
12pm- I will have to stop running so late in the day. It’s getting way too hot for this. I need to get up early. Anyway, I ran 70 minutes from the house down to Town Lake and did the small loop and back. I was averaging about 5:55-6 flat on town lake for the mile splits and I was feeling really good. I think I will increase the Sunday run by 10-15 minutes per week.
11 miles

Week Total – 53 miles
