Stories, training, and the good times that follow this Ironman Triathlete.
Grandma's Marathon shared this image on Facebook last week. It's their budget for the FIRST Grandma's Marathon in 1977:
I noted in mid-January that I just had 20 weeks averaging 20+ miles/week. Well last week I hit 30 straight weeks of 20+ miles/week on average!
That stretch goes back to the very end of August when I first crossed over 20+ miles/week after coming back from my running injury that happened a year before. I had 2 weeks that were just under 20 miles around the virtual TC 10 Mile in early October (the weeks before and after the race), but the rest of the weeks have had 20+ miles. (So I think that means I've had 24 weeks straight of 20+ miles, but my average is 20+ miles/week going back to the end of August.)
I covered 217.21 miles over the last 10 weeks.
And I had covered 410.0 miles over the previous 20 weeks.
So I'm up to 627.21 miles over 30 weeks, which is 20.9 miles/week on average.
That's not much, but it's decent numbers for this 3x/week runner! LET'S KEEP IT GOING!!!
I mentioned on Wednesday that I got my "one and done" Johnson & Johnson COVID vaccine on Monday. Early Tuesday morning I couldn't sleep and was super hot. I was feeling better by the time I dropped the boys off at school, and I went to the university where I teach to see if their weight room was quiet enough get in a workout. It was.
My workout was quite normal (as I mentioned in Wednesday's post), but I noticed I was getting a bit sweatier near the end. I think that was the last of my "hot body building up its protections from the virus." Here's a sweaty selfie post-workout:
Last week, I posted the first part of this post. Here are some more:
