Consistency is the key

OK, I continue to be happy with my running progress, with the past 7 days workouts are as follows:

5/12 - 9
5/13 - 5
5/14 - 8.7
5/15 - off
5/16 - 8.3
5/17 - 7.85
5/18 - 8.2

All the miles were run between 7:00 and 8:00 pace. I've now run 215 miles in the last 30 days, 28 of them days I ran. It's time to really start prepping for June 3, when the 18 week program rolls out. I'm a little disappointed not to be running Syttende Mai tomorrow, but I wasn't ready for 20 miles yet. So I'll try and run 12 tomorrow, and see how I feel.

It was great fun watching my daugher run two meets this week. She ran the 1600 and 800 meters at both meets, and her performances were outstanding. On Monday, with the temperatures in the mid-80s and 20-30 mph winds, she ran 6:13 for the 1600 and 2:49 for the 800. Then on Tursday she followed that up w/ a 5:59 and 2:45, both PR's, at the conference meet. She got 3rd and 4th, and ran really good races. She did let one girl pass her on the inside at the end of the 1600, but she's only 13, so she still is on a steep learning curve. Yep, I'm proud!
