This week was somewhat of a mixed bag.  The week started on Sunday with a planned 15-mile run.  The run was going so badly that I ended up abandoning it after 9 miles.

I then decided to run 6 miles each of my other running days, but on Wednesday, I ended up running just 4 miles.

Today I had my first glimmer of hope that things are improving.  I still had to take multiple walking breaks, but I didn’t feel as badly as I did for the last few weeks.  I actually ran the running portions at a sub-9min/mile pace.  Part of me is hoping that this is a sing that things are going to improve from this point forward.

Saturday is a rest day and I plan to start next week’s training with a 15-18 miler on Sunday. We’ll see how that goes.
