Last week was a lighter week of running. I had two teeth extractions and two titanium screws put into my jaw so that also got in the way of training.
Last week:
Thursday: 8 miles
Friday: 8 miles
Sunday: 3 miles: Freeze Your Buns
Total: 19 miles
The running is getting easier. An 8 miler is now doable without much limping or soreness at the end. I consistently feel a little bit stronger on each run and my form is getting better. At the fourth Freeze Your Buns (results) race my goal was to break 23 minutes. I ran 22:55 and for the first time post surgery got under 23 minutes. However the 5 5k race I have run since the surgery in July have been the slowest 5ks I have ever run in my life. I actually looked forward to this race before the start (an old familiar feeling) to see what I could do rather that just entering to plod along. I felt better in the breathing department and although I have a long way to go to get where I want to be, I can sense improvements coming. On the other hand, I have never been beaten by so many little girls in my life. Where are they all coming from?
