I'll say again I ain't going anywhere near a scale until next week, so no weigh in today. I got a new toy yesterday called a smart phone and it is designed to make me feel dumb trying to use it. I did get to take some pictures this morning. Frygle doesn't have to worry about competition for best photographer The first is where I start runs from. The second is moi. I did a 6 mile run this morning.

I had penciled one in for the 17th, but I decided to wait a bit longer and do a bit of training for the next one. I signed up for a 5k today being run Nov 6th which will give me a month to do some speed work. About two weeks later on the 21st I will do first 10k.
I screwed up watch settings on tuesday run, so no readout. I did run 4 miles, but me setting the watch wrong screwed up the intervals I tried to run. Tomorrow's group run is for 2.5 miles. I am going to start doing hill workouts on the gym's treadmill on Friday nights to build up leg strength,
I've been in a but of pain with knee since Sunday. I was going to run intervals today but I was afraid of making the knee worse. I still did a 4 mile easy paced run. I am feeling a bit down.

Sorry about your knee Edgar. Give it a rest. You just did a 7 mile run on Sunday, and then a 4 mile run today - it may be a bit sore from that.
How many miles do you have on your current running shoes? 300 miles is about the average limit - then it's time for new ones. You might think it would take a long time to get that many miles - but it comes quicker than you think. Do you have more than one pair so you can alternate them each time you run?
Not sure if you do - but try not to wear your actual running shoes for any other activities - keep them just for running.
Are you stretching after running - especially after 7 miles?
Just some things to look at to see if it might be time for new shoes, or a change in surface (switch to dirt or trails - stay off of concrete if at all possible), or making more time for slow, thorough stretching after your run.
I have been extremely busy at work over the past week and I will be pressed for time for at least another week. I am still squeezing in running. I lost another pound putting me at 215. I did another 7 miler. I felt stronger this time.

Work is still hectic. life will go back to normal Wednesday when I get off pager duty. Lost 2 lbs on weigh in putting me at 213. I did an eight mile run this morning. I Garmin website is screwing up today so I can not post the stats.
Finally off pager at work, I was still able to make a 17 mile run total for the week. Thats the most I have done in a week. I am going to taper the coming week in order to rest legs a bit for a 5K race on Nov 6. I will try to catch up on reading journals over the weekend.
The first is where I start runs from. The second is moi. I did a 6 mile run this morning.
