My biggest mileage week came to an end Sunday May 15th.
I put in 26 running miles, including an 11 mile trail run through FLSP, a speed workout mid-week, and a 10k close out run on Sunday. I also put in 5 miles on the recumbent bike and a mile speed walk at work.
I feel pretty solid with little muscle soreness and hope to continue to increase my weekly mileage until I am consistently putting in 25-30 miles per week. I also have a goal of running further little by little until I put in a 15 mile and a 20 mile run ........................I will then know if a marathon is in my future. If so, it will likely be Shamrock 2012 or maybe OBX 2012 or even pushing it back a bit and doing something next May. Those are lofty goals that right now are distant at best.
Happy trails everyone.

Vacation
I have been on vacation and from the looks of the last post on vacation from this blog as well.
Family and I did Epcot, Disney, Universal, Islands of Adventure, and Sea World. I really need a vacation now. We had a beautiful resort hotel with a island pool with palm trees and we only once got to enjoy it as we were up at 7am and out to the parks and then home anywhere from 7pm to 10pm depending.
I really would have like to have a day or two just lounging by the pool sipping cocktails and soaking in the sun while the kids played in the pool and hot tub but it was not to be.
I did get in 3 runs while in FL. An initial 3 mile leg shake out from the drive down, a 3 mile resort morning run mid week, and a treadmill, circuit workout near the end of the week.
We got back Friday so I decided to add some base mileage and put in a 10 miler on Saturday morning, did tons of yard work, gardening, pitched a little league game and finally ended the day cooking burgers and dogs on the grill. Thank goodness it rained Sunday so I could sit around and rest.
No races until the ERR 10k on May 28th. Happy Running all.
