Training for September 17 – 23, 2007
September 30, 2007It’s true: you don’t appreciate what you have until it’s gone, like two healthy legs! Running with an injured quad this week renewed my commitment to taking care of my body and listening to it when it says STOP!

Tuesday, September 18, 2007 – Hill Repeats – 10 x 1/4 mile hill repeats run at a hard pace uphill, easy effort down. Total mileage for this workout = 9.1. Great workout, but sore quad.

Sunday, September 23, 2007 – 5K race and 20 miles with last 6 at marathon goal pace. Phew! Busy day of running! I didn’t race the Northwest YMCA 5K as quickly as I normally could due to my injured quad. My time was 24:08 which earned me 3rd in the 40 – 49 age group and 9th woman overall. Finished my long run along the canal path wearing my quad brace. Touch day of running.
Total Miles for the Week = 43.4 miles
Total Miles Year to Date = 1398.12
