Runner’s diary, Thursday

My game plan when I hit the treadmill this morning was to get in about five miles with some interval training included. But my legs felt good, so five became six and six became seven. I think I could have gone farther, but the treadmill at the gym maxes out at 60 minutes. I pushed the seven in 59:49 — an 8:33 pace.

My goal was to get in 225 miles by the end of the first quarter and I am close. As of today, I’ve logged 204 miles with tomorrow and next week still to come. The issue is that I’m limited next week because of planned gum surgery on Thursday. That means that, to get to 225 by next Friday, I need to log 21 more miles in four running days.

I’m hoping to get outside in April.
