Check, another week ticked off...

End of 3 week recovery from KV with a 10 mile (long) run. Up and out on the roads by 8am, which is very early for me. It was a gorgeous, sunny, calm Sunday morning, but cool 0C (32F) and very little traffic (1 or 2 cars per mile). Did an out and back route along the highway at a fairly even pace (40:50 out, 41:00) return and felt great. Not a single complaint, twinge, ache the entire run but did feel I was tiring a bit at the end.

Total for the week was only 34mi on 5 days running (1841 this year) but exactly where I want to be in the recovery. Next week I'll add 1 more day and 2miles on the longest run and do more scheming as to my Boston plan beginning in mid-December.

For those interested in my year to date stuff, here's a graph of my weekly mileage and the races I've done. Hope it comes out ok.

Mike,

Glad to see you are feeling good.

I like the graph! I see you had to leave the wonderfully logical metric system for us neanderthals who depend on anachronistic 'miles' to understand things. Much appreciated!

Mike - Nice run to end the recovery, and a lack of aches and pains to boot.

Looking forward to following your Boston progress.

Like many of my generation I still think in the Imperial system. The metric system was introduced in 1970 and you know how they can't teach us old dogs...
