Happy Monday to ya! Hope you had a great weekend. We are recapping some miles from last week today! I was able to get in 70.6 miles total, so training for upcoming ultra races is coming along well! Let’s recap and see how things went down.
Monday- 4.22 miles after teaching a class at gym. Honestly this was more like a rest day for me, as I was coming off of a pretty high mileage week the previous week. So it just felt good to get the legs moving and get something in.
Tuesday AM- 10.11 miles with the early run crew, some of the group ran track so I warmed up there with a few strides and then finished up my run on some hills.
Tuesday PM- Back to double run days! I did a quick 3.05 mile run in the evening, doing some people watching.
Wednesday PM- 6.31 miles on the lake in the morning. Peaceful and quiet solo miles.
Wednesday PM- 4.02 super relaxed miles after work. Funny story I did this run in FLIP FLOPS. Not something I always do but I left my shoes at home and had some sport sandals in the car. Thankfully it was not too chilly out. Haha, it was kind of silly and fun. Maybe I should get me some official Luna Sandals and make it a thing?
Thursday- 10.33 miles of hills back with the run group. It always feels good to get in a strong double digit run before you start the work day.
Friday- 7.12 miles to kick off the weekend. Nice breezy lake miles.
Saturday- 17.11 miles EARLY morning! I had to sub a class at the gym so I had a 4 a.m. wakeup call for this one. But it got done.
Sunday- 8.33 Sunday fun day miles. Ending with some speedy strides at a 7 something pace.
And there you have it!
How was your weekend? Do anything fun?
Caught up on some Netflix. Aside from the running I was pretty lazy but loved every minute of it.

Great job on your runs! I am in the middle of moving and once I get more settled I want to start running until then I have been doing bodyweight exercises and going for walks. Hope you will have a great week!

Thanks so much and thanks for reading! Enjoy your week.
Thanks a bunch! xoxo
Talk about motivation! I run too but whenever I’ve tried running every day I have found my knee (which was badly injured in 2014) twinges. Do you do anything special to prevent injury? My mind would love for me to be running everyday but I’m always concerned I will aggravate my knee.
Thank you! It definitely takes time. Take care of your knee! Stay consistent with injury prevention and build little by little and you will get better. Take some time to read my post below, I post lots on here about injury prevention base building etc. Happy running to you!! https://thedancingrunner.com/2017/11/21/4-tips-for-base-building/
Amazing job! How do you get in so many miles before work? Do you run outside in the dark? What do you wear for safety? Starting up again after having a baby and I’m in awe of those that can get a few miles in- never mind double digits— before work! Thanks 🙂
JANERUNSWILD is back! Where have you been? I’ve missed your questions. hahaha. Okay let me try and tackle some- question 1, I run with a running group that runs in the mornings during the week- 2- Yes I run in the light and in the dark. 3- I wear a headlamp and/or flashlight. 4- wait, is there a 4? No? Okay, done. Phew. That was tough. 😉 Welcome back love!
Thanks so much for your reply!! Really appreciate it. I’ve had a busy year and had a baby so took this year off from blogging 🙂 But I still follow yours and others for inspiration and want to get back into it! Good luck on your run this weekend! Can’t wait to follow as you tackle more ultras.
Great miles. I’d be happy to hit that in a month. I’m at 42.35 miles so far, so I probably will.
I actually did a double run day last Tuesday. It can be done.
What is your monthly goal? Mine is 100 miles.
Monthly goal is usually 300. Most months I reach it. It definitely feels great to be where I’m at now with running. It has been a long time coming. 🙂 Cheers to you!
