Oct 27th - Nov 2nd

Well that was another great week of running. The hip and core strengthening stuff is coming together nicely and I think that in a couple of weeks when I get my schedule figured out a little better stuff will start to fall into place. The thing that I am finding hard to deal with right now is time. There is only so many hours in the day and it gets hard trying to dedicate 2-3 hours a day to just running. It is not that bad when it is just running and then showering and getting on with your day but the additional stuff that I think will prove to be useful in the future is what gets hard. So that is really the only big thing that I am trying to deal with right now. I am also going to start keeping track of how much sleep I get the night before.

10/27 - 10 (1:07:40)
Easy run

10/28 - 12 (1:23:10)
Ran most of this run at the golf course.

10/29 - 11 (1:17:30) - 6 hours
Ran with Mahoney and Richard nice and easy. Little farther then I wanted to go but it worked out fine.

10/30 - 10+ (1:17:00) - 6 hours
Early morning run with Nate. Then hunted and worked in the woods all day.

10/31 - 9.25 (1:02:30) - 8 hours
Hunted all day again and then got home and went running. I got a ton of sleep last night but sitting in a car all day and then trying to run really sucks.

11/1 - 9+ (1:02:00) - 8 hours
A nice easy run that I thought about going long on but realized that I had put in a pretty solid week thus far and that I had a little to much fun downtown last night and was probably quite dehydrated so we canceled that plan and just went a little over 9.

11/2 - 15.25 (1:44:50) - 6 hours
Nice long run. Again the party scene last night may have gotten a little out of control but these things are going to happen every once and awhile. I felt good until about 11 then the legs started getting a little tired.

Week total: 77 miles
October total: 270 (28 days)
MTD : 24.25

Overall it was a great week. There are a couple of things I would have done differently but it was Halloween so I had to get a little crazy. I was pleased with most of the runs this week, but I wish that the long run would have went better. I am going to be forced to take at least one day off this week due to deer hunting but after that it should be smooth sailing for the awhile so there wont be many other days off. The legs feel great right now so hopefully I can get in another 5 good days and then take the weekend off. I might try and run on Sunday when I get back if time allows it to happen but I am thinking right now that it is not going to happen. Still need to work on the whole getting more sleep thing but hopefully that will fall into place better as well. Good week.
