This past week in running

During this past week in my running, I’ve ran a total distance of 7 1/2 miles and then 4.6 miles yesterday (Sunday). While it may not seem like much, both speed and distance is improving. Several years ago, I was running between 6 and 8 miles for my long runs. The last few years, my daily mileage fell to 2 to 3 miles for daily runs and up to 4 for my long runs. I don’t have a reason why this happened, but, up until now, I’ve been running very low mileage. Yesterday’s mileage was the most I’ve ran for a long run in a while and it was GREAT! I loved every mile of it. Yes, some of you would say “your sick Tim”. while, maybe, but, it’s a good kind of sickness, “Running Addiction”. This past week and Sunday have been the best running I’ve done is a long while and it’s been great. My goals for a half marathon are still pretty much still “on my to do list”. My current problem is fitting one in based upon my current work schedule. I won’t do a half on only 4 hours sleep. So finding one that fits my schedule is the challenge. Not to mention that I need 13 weeks to prepare. So, for this year, time is starting to run out.
