kilometers

So my 57 for 57 plan didn't quite work out as planned.  Life and my right foot conspired to shift the plan to 57 kilometers instead.  Oh well, that's the way it seems to go lately.  I'll just keep on trying to keep on I suppose.

Had a great 15 miler at Barton Creek this morning.  I finished in 3:30, hiking the HOL in under 10 minutes.  Very encouraged with today's run however my plantar is pretty flaired up post run today.   I've decided that I'll do the 25k at Warda.  Our upcoming weekend schedule only allows me one long run between now and the race and that's not enough.  That will work fine.  I have plenty of time to build up my mileage and hill strength for Bandera and continue to work on getting my plantar fixed too.

I left out that the one friend is WHITE, everybody else is black

I get so fucking tired of being in the minority all the time.  Gun control, politics, race, Confederate flag, anthem kneeling, our fucking dangerous, idiotic President....thankfully I have one friend who sees things the way I do....I'll keep biting my tongue.....

1 mile doggie run/walk followed by 10 miles at Townlake this morning.  Operation 57 for 57 is alive.  However, I did have a hitch in the giddyup and missed my 4 miler yesterday morning.  I purposely got an earlier start (4:45a) than originally planned to possibly get back one of the miles I missed yesterday.  That was not it be though.  10 was it for today.  Oh well, I'll get caught up.  Even with a lot of stretching my plantar is hurting pretty good post run this morning.  I'll get it figured out though.  A little funny though.  The last 2 months I haven't gotten my minimum miles to quite maintain my 20 mile weeks, or so I thought.  As of yesterday I'm at 20.0059464817 miles per week.  I almost laughed out loud when I saw that number.  Anyway, I'm hanging in there.  As of today I need 599 miles by 6/1/18 to get my 20 miles for 20 years.....

57

1 mile doggie walk and then 10 miles at Townlake yesterday and a 4 mile doggie walk in the 'hood this morning!! 

I have a 4 day weekend for my birthday next weekend so I've been trying to plan something interesting runningwise to celebrate my birthday.  During yesterday mornings run I figured it out.  I'm going to try and get in 57 miles miles the first week of October to match my years on earth.  I sat down yesterday afternoon and worked out a plan.

Sun  4 mile doggie walk
Mon   1/2 mile doggie walk, 4 mile run
Tue  1 mile doggie run, 10 mile run
Wed 1/2 mile doggie walk
Thu  1 mile doggie run, 10 mile run
Fri  13.5 mile run
Sat  12.5 mile run

I think it's real doable if I can really focus on eating well and good recovery in between runs.  And yes, there will be some walking along the way but this is about endurance and not speed.
