I ran a lot over the weekend! My goal for Saturday was to run 9 miles. I did 3.5 miles, but then had to stop. It was way too hot to run. I waited for the day to cool and ran an additional 6 miles. Great run, actually. Even threw in some hills! My goal for Sunday was 14 miles. I ran from Seward Park to Broadmoore along the lake on the boulevard, and then ran up Madison. What a freaking ridiculous hill. I was feeling kind of whiny by the time I reached the top lol. Then I hopped back on the Blvd, passed The Bush School, and ran back the rest of the way along the lake. My friend Jim accompanied me on his bike. Poor guy. It was raining like mad, but he was a good sport. It's nice to have company on the long runs... and someone to carry all my shit! lol The run left good, though. Knees were good. My left ankle did some popping at about mile 12-ish. I had trouble at mile 10 again. I felt like crying... but I pulled myself together, remembered the 'why' in it all. I ended up running 13.58 miles in 2 hrs 18 mins. I took 6 minutes off of my half, even (2:20 to 2:14!)
My left knee doesn't really hurt, persay... but it is huge and fluid-filled. That makes me somewhat concerned... What to do? What to do?
Total mileage last week: 36.35 miles.
