10 Miles!

Here's a sentence I never thought I'd write, "Just finished my 10 mile run". After working up in miles and doing 9 miles last Saturday, I just did 10 this Saturday. I ran down to the beach from my house. I felt like I could have done more, maybe even finished a half Marathon, but in order to not push myself too hard too soon, I stopped at 10. In the coming weeks I'll increase the mileage. My weekly Saturday schedule we be:

9/11 - 7 miles
9/18 - 12 miles
9/25 - 13 miles
10/2 - 10 miles
10/9 - 15 miles
10/16 - 16 miles
10/23 - 23 miles
10/30 - 18 miles
11/6 - 14 miles
11/13 - 20 miles (what?)
11/20 - 12 miles
11/27 - 8 miles
***12/5 - 26.2 miles***

I feel like I will actually do it. So much so that I've registered for the event and paid the entry fee. Now I'm committed and will have to finish.

  1. Great job on the 10 miler. With a slow increase in mileage all your runs should feel about as tiring as your first 10 to 12 miles. Dave and I just ran 18 last week. Last long run till St George (26.2). Count me in for the December Run.
