Week of 9-09-07

Last week was somewhat disappointing in the sense that my knees were hurting and I have two toe nails that are brused and most likely fall off in time. On the lighter side, I purchased a Garmin 305, which I love, and a new pair of Minuzo shoes. Because of the injuries, I did not run on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday (about 18 miles). I did substitute two shorter runs of 3 miles each to keep moving and to test my knees.

Because the tests went well, I did choose to run the 18 miles on Sunday. Although long, the run went pretty well. My knees hurt a little but nothing to bad. This morning, my left knee hurt quite a bit, but I'm icing it and stretching it a little. I felt that I recovered a lot easier after the 18 than the 15 last week.

This week my workouts are as follows:

Sunday - Run 18 Miles
Monday - Run 5 miles
Tuesday - Rest
Wednesday - Run 5 miles
Thursday - Run 9 miles
Friday - Swim
Saturday - Walk
