Week Ten Summary

| No Comments

Had a really nice week of training. I may try to follow this pattern a bit more regularly through August: shorter mid-week runs on Monday and Wednesday (with the team), cross-training spin classes on Tuesday and Friday, and a long team run on the weekend. That's still five days a week, like I did this past week, when I felt like my Saturday run was as good a long run as I've had so far.

Part of that might have been the course: heading out and back on the Luce Line trail. It's a fairly flat route. I spent much of the time running with Sanjiv. A couple of hours of good conversation, and a decent pace on the back seven miles.

Saturday's Run: 14 miles in 2:37:00, including water stops.
Weekly Total: 24 miles in three runs (4, 6, 14), and another two days of cross-training spinning fun.
Total Mileage: 206 miles.
Fundraising Total: $11,806.30 (including $309.80 from the Silpada fundraiser that will be posted later)

A Few Notes

rkb in 1990
2010 marks my twentieth year in remission from AML. To celebrate, I will be training for and running two marathons with Team in Training: Twin Cities on October 3rd, and Dublin, Ireland on October 25th.

I'd originally started using this site to tell my story -- roughly eight months of treatment in 1990, as well as the impact leukemia had on me in the years that followed. Much of that story is still available through the "Table of Contents" below (or through the site archives).

But now I will also be writing about my training and fundraising goals, progress, as well as other thoughts, feelings, and experiences along the way for this milestone anniversary.
