I’ve been looking to up my number of runs per week and the distance I cover. That was the plan for this week, but I didn’t make enough space to do more than three runs. But I did increase my mileage. Here’s the recap:

Monday. I went out for a 7.5 mile run in the country. It was pretty hard, but a good run.

Wednesday. I went out for a 7 mile run through town. It was brutal. I was cramping the whole time, and I was tired. I’ve been working a lot and sleeping very little this week – so that probably played a role in an ugly run that required a few walk breaks. And just when the cramping was easing up… a bird pooped right on the top of my head. Seriously. I mean the white and black splat!  A shaved head and 6 miles of sweating made clean up on the run easy enough. But good grief. I kept thinking, now my friends will start calling me “Dookie” or something. This is the kind of thing that can birth a nickname. The poop literally, and metaphorically, topped off a pretty bad run (on the up side – I was still running).

Saturday. I went back out on the same run as last time and BOOM! I owned it today! I felt strong the whole time.

Total mileage this week: 22 Miles. Next week – I plan on adding a fourth day of running.
