Describing The Nexus of Distance Running and The Law.

Sunday, May 27, 2007

Long, this week has been.

The below graphs can attest to my training volume. It has increased largely in running, which is a blessing.




Albeit, miles have begun to catch up with me, as I’m quite sore, even after taking Friday as my off day, and tomorrow as Memorial Day will likely be an off day.
I blew a tire on a ride yesterday morning, which I discovered this afternoon before a ride. So I put in a new tube, but the bike shop was closed, so I was unable to attain a new tire.

So after a 3 mile run on pavement, (my first paved run since Boston) I hit the trails for another 5 miles, for a daily total of 8 miles. Kind of low, particularly on a historical long-run day (10+ miles). So my first two-a-day run since XC last fall. Too much, too soon. I need to rest.

Now that most of the grease and dirt and mud has been shed, I can unequivocally say, that getting dirty is exponentially more fun than getting clean.

Be Well.
