Total Mileage - 26.2
Things got serious this week. I started with a 7 mile run on Monday, a 4 mile run on Tuesday, then a 13.1 mile run on Wednesday. 13.1 for a midweek run?!? Surely you can't be serious.
Truth be told it was only supposed to be a 12 miler, but one you get 12 down, what is another mile? I did not have a course in mind when I set out. I just took off and saw where the road took me. Main roads, trails, off road at one point, through neighborhoods, a park, and best of all- the golf course.
I have decided that golf courses rule.

The barefoot runners best friend |
The trails around here are brutal. While there are a lot of trees, hardly any of them put any shade on the concrete pathway. While the radiating heat is fine in the fall and winter, it is no good in June and July. Beggars can't be choosers, and while these trails are not the best in the world (I am very partial to the Iron Horse in the bay area) it keeps me off the main roads and away from crosswalks and cars.

Oppressive, radiating heat... |
- it was not an official race
- being that my distance is measured by footpod and not GPS I know I was close to 13.1, but not sure if I was over or under.
- I had to take a quick break to fight off a cramp in my calf
- I stopped for another minute because I thought I had been stung by a bee.

Ouch! |
I did not do any running in Oregon (just not enough time). We all survived flying to and from Oregon. The Canuck is now officially married (scary), and my brother gave the greatest best man speech in recent memory (don't tell him though or it will go to his head).
So I ran a total of 26.2 miles this week. I plan on doing that in one day ?!?
We head to Tahoe in a few days. Altitude training, here I come.
