Any week I get out and do all 3 runs is good. Making one of those a double digit run is even better. That was week 2. Two solid 4 mile runs during the week and a decent 10 miler on Saturday. I actually ran most of the 10 miler this week too! The weather was more agreeable to a long run this week, cloudy with a breeze and cooler terms than my 10 miler.a couple of weeks ago. I carried water for a couple of miles and had it stashed behind a bush for pickup towards the end of my run. These things all helped me get in a pretty good long run. My 8 mile run the week before was also decent. All in all, I'm pretty pleased with my training so far. My standard is pretty low, just staying consistent and getting in the miles, but I have no problem with this being the state of my running. I've been faster but I'm fine with where I am.
I was looking through pictures I had taken on October11 through the years and saw that I had run 10 miles 8 years ago. My pace was a little under 9 minutes a mile. I finished the run in about an hour and a half. I would love to be able to run at that pace now, but I can't. I'm older. My commitment to running isn't what it was all those years ago. I'm about 15 pounds heavier. It's hotter in Florida. My life has changed in so many ways since that run. I'm still out putting in the miles. I could have stopped running years ago, but I'm still getting out a few mornings a week. I have no plans to stop any time soon.
