End of Week 7

Here we are at the end of week 7 of the training. Today was a 5 mile run, and I am happy to say it went very well. I did run at the gym for convenience purposes. Overall a great run. My goal was to finish in under and hour and I did - 58:56. Not too shabby.

I worked up a good sweat as I went along. I listened to Phedippidations, as Steve Runner talked about the benefits of morning runs. I understood what he said, but I think it is not always easy to run in the mornings. Sometimes work dictates I run at other times of the day. Still, as always, it is good to listen to Mr. Runner. Congrats to him on his entry into the Boston Marathon. I know he is setting the bar low for this one, but in my book anytime you accomplish a marathon, you have done yourself proud.

So overall I think the week went great. I ran 15 miles and biked 22 miles. I feel darned good. Physically this is the best I have felt in many, many months. While I am no where near where I want to be physically, I think I am on my way.

Keep those reports coming, Charlie - I need a good kick to get me back on track. I did walk a lot this week, but I'm still a long, long way from my fitness goals.
