Day 135 – May 14, 2012
The team and I took a short run on the way to the track
before doing the last hard workout of the season. Well, they did the hard
workout. I just ran laps in their recovery periods.
Total – 5.5 road and track miles
Day 136 – May 15, 2012
This was basically a rest day for me. A few lowly miles with
the team.
Total – 2.5 miles on gravel roads
Day 137 – May 16, 2012
As a team, we ran incorporated two half-mile pick-ups within
the context of an easy 4 mile run. Short and simple with the state meet coming
up on Saturday.
Total – 4 road and gravel miles
Day 138 – May 17, 2012
The country roads called my name with sunny skies and a
gentle breeze.
Total – 9.0 miles
Day 139 – May 18, 2012
I was glad to get to the mountains today but was reminded
what the heavy rains (up to 9 inches) of earlier this week can do to trails.
Many were a mess, some were terribly overgrown, and the streams turned into
rushing torrents! I had wanted to get in a few more miles but time was short
and I had to get to practice and then meet friends for dinner at their home. By
the time I got home, I was worn out.
Total – 24.2 trail miles
Day 140 – May 19, 2012
This was the closest I’ve come to missing a run. I got up at
6 AM, spent the day with the team at the state track meet, and got back to the
school at 11:15 PM. After cleaning things out of the bus and loading up the
car, I slipped into my shoes and went for a quick spin around campus. It
actually felt great to run alone in the dark. I was pleased to feel quick and
light despite the mileage the day before. So glad I didn’t weenie out by not
running.
Total – 2 road miles
Day 141 – May 20, 2012
I really thought I would run two miles and call it a day. I
was really tired from a couple whirlwind days. But I decided on my standard
six-miler and ended up licking flowers along the way! It was a nice way to end
the week although I have to say, the few cars that passed by did a double-take
at a runner carrying a bouquet down the road.
Total – 6 miles
Year-to-date: 922 miles
