Training Log: February 11-17

Monday: 7:30 PM - 6 Miles, 45 min (treadmill)
Kept things real easy. Feeling better but the knee was still bothering me and tightened up a little towards the end.

Tuesday: 7:30 PM - 7 Miles, 52 min (treadmill)
Easy does it is the theme for this week. Knee wasn't bothering me much at all and the run actually felt pretty good overall.

Wednesday: 12:00 PM - 7 Miles, 52 min (treadmill)
Didn't have to work today but I went into the store anyway to use the treadmill. There weren't many customers so Tony just chatted with me while I did my run. It was a pretty comfortable run and having someone to talk to made it go by a lot faster. Later in the afternoon I had a massage with Glenn and stopped over in Westboro to visit Mario at the store. After he closed up, we went to grab a bite to eat and continued to catch up on everything which was great.

Thursday: 8:30 PM - 8 Miles, 59 min (treadmill)
Long day at work left me feeling a little sluggish in the beginning, but started feeling better about 20 min in. Overall, I'm feeling more comfortable on the runs, which is a good sign.

Friday: 5:30 PM - 7 Miles, 52 min (treadmill)
Decent run. Nothing bothering me too much. Tired in general but just from being very busy lately.

Saturday: 8:30 AM - 8 Miles, 59 min (treadmill)
Decent run... starting to feel more comfortable again on these runs, which is definitely a good thing. After that, I had a productive day, followed by a really great evening with Gabe & Liz.
Furthermore, I'd like to congratulate Erin on yet another amazing performance this season! This time it was a 25th place finish at the US XC Championships! We're proud of you Erin!

4.6M - 23:53 (5:11, 5:23, 5:10, 3:09, 4:58)
21 min cool down
Total = 11 Miles
Solid effort. Left hamstring was a little tight but nothing too bad. First mile felt a little quick so I relaxed in the 2nd and was able to pick it up from there. It was a nice morning and nice to get off the rat wheel after doing it all week.

Weekly Totals: 54 Miles
Better.
