Hey 19!!

Hey

With Sunday's HUGE day (Andrew's mile (total of 17 min run) and my 30 min run), I had a 19 mile week with two days off. Monday was my long walk (Warning 47) day, and Friday was a rare night/day away from the kids for Danielle and me.

Mileage 19 miles.

Sun: 30 water run with DD, 30 min run with DD and Scott and 17 min run at High St mile race (Andrew) plus run back (Ken)
Mon: 60 min walk
Tue: 30 min run
Wed: 30 min run
Thu: 30 min run

Question: When is a 9:23 mile...Great!

Answer: When it was run by Andrew!

6 year old Andrew ran his first race, The High Street Mile in Newburyport on Sunday, August 7th. In torrential conditions, he ran the whole way without walking a step. 9:23. Splits: 2:19, 2:26, 2:19, 2:19.

Uncle Dave also ran 5:02 and supplied the photo in, did I mention, torrential conditions. ;-)

and the Running von-Tripp children:

Macy (8 yrs old): 7:58

Kyra (10 yrs old): 8:17

Owen (6 yrs old): 8:50

Noel (4 yrs old): 9:44

Thunder-shortened water run caps 20 min runs week

Hey

Finshed up a 13 mile week. Feeling ok. Trying to maintain some hamstring exercises and stretching after each run.

Awoke Saturday and got in the water about 6AM. Thought I heard thunder and turned back after 10 mins, got out at 20 mins and soon after the thunder was booming.

Also trying a new plan with my day off, trying to get in a long walk to simulate being on my feet for a while. Hoping these to get to 1hour +.

Sun: 30 min water run and 20 min run (with DD)
Mon: 45 min walk
Tue: 20 min run
Wed: 20 min run
Thu: 20 min run
Fri: 20 min run

Back to the water

Hey

My first full week of "training" after Mt Washington featured a return to the water of Heart Pond. Chelmsford did a great job removing the weeds, and it certainly makes the experience a lot loss creepy when you aren't stepping thru 20 feet of weeds. I am unsure whether I should take time off since hammy is still not right or just do what I'm doing....I chose the latter.

Sun: 20 min water run
Mon: 30 min water run with DD
Tue: 30 min water run and 10 min road run
Wed: 30 min water run and 10 min road run
Thu: 10 min run
Fri: 10 min run
Sat: 30 min water run and 10 min road run (both with DD)
