Total Distance

19.50

AM - 19.5 Quail Creek. Had to get up at the early hour to get the run in before Ry's swim meet (she swam very well) making it very dark and lonesome out on the road. I didn't wear a watch, but I felt pretty solid throughout and the ave. was probably a solid long run. Took the lake loop backward, which makes for 2 hard climbs right near the end. Got home and took the dog around to end it all. (Cumulus gold 172.45)

Had another solid week. Mileage is progressing very well. Legs were a little flat throughout the week, but I attribute that to lifting more than anything else; nonetheless, I will keep doing it to strengthen up some of my weaknesses.

Goals for next week: Keep the mileage right in the same area (right around 100). Enjoy the morning temps, because they won't be here for much longer (it will be the middle of summer before we know it).

Cumulus Gold Miles: 19.50

Great Job. What type of lifting are you doing. I'm thinking of getting back into it myself to strength the hamstrings.

Great mileage, keep it up.

Thanks guys -

Kory my lifting is pretty much a series of core lifts (not core body - although I do a lot of that at home most every day also), in a sort of circuit form to get in and out quick. I really don't mind lifting, but I hate the time it takes. So if I can get in and out in 15-20 minutes I'll do it.

I do two lifts. First one set of one (like squats) then a set of ten on the other (i.e. bench) and quickly go back to the other, and do that for three sets.

Squats/Bench

Lat pulls/leg extensions

leg curls/calf raises

For me, the squats are the most critical; they strengthen my hips and everything connected through them which always give me such trouble.
