Last week was a planned 22 mile week, but by the time I finished 22 miles on Thursday I started to think about the fact that I was so close to 25 miles…a nice round number.  It bothered me enough that I went out for an easy 3 mile run on Saturday just so I can end the week at 25 miles.

I’ll be doing 25 miles for the next couple weeks at which point I’m going to start a plan to run a 10K at the end of February.  My plan will peak at 31 miles per week.

I ran 10 miles today for the second time.  It was a bit easier than the 10 miles I ran last week in that everything only started to hurt after 8.5 miles instead of 8 miles as it did last week.  I’m still sore and I’m limping around the house, but it feels great knowing that I ran so far, and not just once, but twice.  I’ll be running 10 miles every Sunday for the next few months.
