Weekly Update 7/11/2010

So this week went pretty well. I was able to run three days this week, my goal was to run four, however after the second run my left adductor was really sore again, so I took to days off and found some new exercises to help strengthen the muscle, http://www.runnersworld.com/article/0,7120,s6-241-285--13543-0,00.html . I have to admit I never would have tried these before because the do not involve lifting any weight, but I will be the first to admit you can really feel them working. For my third run of the week I left the friendly confines of my neighborhood and went and ran on the Brushy Creek trail, I think I will try and make this run a little more frequent, it is shaded and really relaxing.

I decided to start and ask myself the same question every week. Could I run a marathon next week?
NOT A CHANCE!!!!
Hopefully this answer will change by the end of this journey.

7/5 3.75 miles 36:06
7/7 3.77 miles 35:03
7/10 6.21 miles 1:03:16
