WEEK 20: 7 MILES...HERE I COME!!!

Greetings,

WEEK 20 was super busy due to the Thanksgiving holiday and the biggest shopping weekend of the year. While Thanksgiving was relaxing, I ended up working at my seasonal job (cashier at premium clothing store with a sweet employee discount) on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Somehow, I still managed to get my long run in on Sunday even though my legs were killing me after three consecutive 5 to 7 hour shifts.


WEEK 20 Recap:
  • Monday: Rest
  • Tuesday: 3 miles
  • Wednesday: Rest
  • Thursday: 4 miles
  • Friday: 3 miles
  • Saturday: Rest
  • Sunday: 6 miles
  • TOTAL: 16 MILES


Injury/Health Report: No injuries to report and I am perfectly healthy!


Tech Report: I finally found the fuel/hydration belt I was looking for.



I ran with it on Thursday and it wasn't too bad: no uncomfortable flopping and no shifting around. It wasn't annoying but it is definitely something I will have to get used to.

I also ordered some new running shoes that were on clearance at Nike.com. The Nike Structure Triax 11+ is the next generation of the model that I have been wearing since I started running. They fit a bit more snug that my old sneakers but they weren't too tight. They felt good to run in too.



December is the month to hit 7 miles...wish me luck!



Almost Thirty
