Great Run

Up nice and early this morning and ran one of my favorite 5 mile loops from Cleveland Circle to St Mary's all along Beacon St. It was nice and quiet out there and definitely the perfect time of day before all the activity on Beacon St.

Great to get 5 miles in and hopefully I can continue to build on this distance.

3 mile loop

Legs are definiately a bit tired from last nights run and the 6 miler earlier in the week, but pushed through and plan to rest them Friday. Cardio wise all felt good and that is encouraging for me the key is too make sure I do not run back-to-back days and put my lower body under too much stress since that has always been my problems.

Nice 3 miler though.

Summit Ave

3 mile loop around Summit Ave in Brookline. Ran up and down Summit Avenue twice, great workout and definitely a good workout for doing when time is short, really gives my butt a great kick.

Great Run

Final day in Chicago and finished early at work, despite being really tired I headed to the Gym since I felt very icky from eating and drinking lots of bad things this week. Was planning to run 4 miles, did 4 miles took a cup of water and felt good so hoped back on the treadmill and ran another 2 miles. I managed to do 6 miles which I think is my longest run of the year, so very happy with that.

My right knee was definitely tired and hurting a little during the last mile, but I wanted to hit the magic number 6 and it felt truly great to do that.
