WEEK 11 SUMMARY

This week was a bit of a disaster. Missed Tuesday's run for no other reason than I "didn't feel like it." Then almost missed Wednesday and Thursday's runs because I put them off until the end of the day. One way to guarantee you won't train is to put it off until after work.

Week 11 miles: 14.3

Total training miles: 165.3

Missed the Wednesday run because of plane rides and all-nighters at work. But Saturday made up for it with a half-marathon. Everything still feeling good and healthy.

A CHANGE OF SETTING, PT. 2

Presenting: The Windy City

Getting the runs in while traveling always poses a challenge. But sometimes you cover some really cool stretches of the country. Consider this week's runs on Lakeshore Drive. Chicago has the best skyline in the country. The architecture is interesting, the buildings are giant, and it's all visible within steps of the city. Running north from Navy Pier affords the better view.

All that being said, I'm looking forward to getting back to LA and running in short sleeves tomorrow.

THIS NEVER HAPPENS

This week something remarkable happened: It rained in Los Angeles. I'm sure that in most parts of the country people would complain about having to run 4 miles in the rain. But here it was delightful, if only because of the novelty factor. I had forgotten how much running in the rain makes one feel like he is in a Rocky montage. Very dramatic, indeed.

WEEK 8 SUMMARY

This was a recovery week. Back down to 20 minute runs on the weekdays to let the muscles rest. Funny, 8 miles didn't even feel like a big deal on Sunday.
