Every time I write a ‘long run’ post I have this urge to make a naughty joke… but I resist it.
Anyway, I woke up this morning to find everything covered in massive banks of fog- and the temperature around 45*, the warmest it’s been in months. I started some pizza dough rising for this afternoon and set out on a 16 mile run, my longest ever. It was pretty cool, running through the fog, but I definitely felt my workload from the last 4 days- I want to go into long runs fresher than that in the future. I plan to avoid late parties (like this week), and I think that will help. Just a couple more weeks of this base-training stuff, and then I start the Jack Daniel’s Marathon program- Phase II! I should probably replace my running shoes before then- they’ve got about 750 miles on them now. I’ve been holding off because I’m tight on cash, but it’s probably time for a new pair if I want to avoid injury.
My summary for this week: 51.27 miles total
Monday 5.25 @ 8:47 (with strides)
Tuesday 5 @ 8:09
Wednesday 0 (I was being irresponsible)
Thursday 8.5 @ 8:55
Friday 8.2 @ 8:13
Saturday 8.4 @ 8:14
Sunday 16 @ 8:22
16 is a nice distance. 750 is an awful lot to have on a pair of shoes. what brand are they? I do like Jack Daniels, I’ve used him to coach for the 5k on down. I assume he knows his stuff for marathons too. Good luck with your training.
I like Jack Daniels too… but I try not to drink too much when I’m training for something.
Oh… not that Jack!
The shoes are nike- air-span 4, or something like that.
As for Jack, I’m having trouble figuring out what the drunken stagger drill is supposed to do for my form…
