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

After running two marathons in October 2010 with Team in Training, I've decided to "slack off" with just the one marathon in 2011.

This year will be in memory of Siona Shah, an amazing young girl who spent the final third of her too-short life battling leukemia with courage, grace, humility, and smiles.

It will also be in memory of my step-grandmother, Ruth, who passed away on June 15th after a recurrence of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

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 (starting with my initial diagnosis while I was studying in England).
