Last Week: August 11-17

Sunday:  Rest day and a whole lot of flying.

Monday:  Run 4.5 mi easy.  Matt and I stayed with my sister and we went out on a run to search for coffee before she got up that morning.  The jet lagged run wasn’t much fun, but we found a place for coffee so that made it a win.

Tuesday: Run 5.25 trail miles.  I love running through these forests in the U.P.  Memories from my childhood flood back with each step I take. 

Wednesday:  Run 4 mi.with 9x100ish meters. Matt and I ran to my high school track, did some repeats and ran some errands on the way back.  We ran the straight parts, recovered on the curves. I think it was similar to 100m repeats, but not accurate at all.
Couldn't fit the whole workout in one screen. Missing is the cooldown.

Climbed some stairs.  500 straight up.

Thursday:  Went up and down the stairs this day with my mom.  This was one of her summer goals.  We both were pretty sore on Friday.

Friday:  Run 2.25 mi on the trails.

Saturday: Marquette Trail 50K.  Thanks for all the nice comments :)  It was a fun race, even though I was pretty banged up.  Today (Tuesday) I'm going to try going for a nice easy walk and see how my legs do.  The knees bend without pain or soreness, but the right one is still a little stiff.

TOTAL MILES: 49

Notes: With so many trails to run right from my front door, I had a really hard time resisting the urge to binge on running.  I promised myself I could do that after the race if I felt like it.  My knees don't want to, so we'll sit and read instead.  I'm working on Under the Dome right now (it is also about a thousand pages, so it should keep me busy a while).

What are you reading?
