It's less this week than it might have been because I did the mulching work at the conservancy instead of my Thursday run. Today was a pretty good run, though. I ran to the winery, and I live at the foothills of a small mountain and the winery is on the other of the mountain. The run is through a pass, but it's still quite a hilly route. (One of these days I want to run back -- after a wine & cheese break -- but not today -- the weather was going downhill rapidly.)

Do be so sure, Chris, it looks like you might have the makings of a distance runner. You're up 5 miles, that's great! Chris 262/130s/130s started dieting July 2002, maintaining since June 2004 |

And I probably do way too much weight training to be a serious runner. I enjoy the running, though. I find it much more fun when I'm actually going someplace, like today, than just running around the neighborhood. I need to find more ways to do that sort of thing.

You can log in your routes or check out others in any part of the US. I may not follow the courses I scope out for myself, but it gives me an idea of how far they are, so when I go out and I have a bit of a clue where I'm running. http://www.favoriterun.com/ |

If you like swimming cool, but don't let that take energy away from your running. I wouldn't even do Tues if I were you, not just yet anyway. I'd get a couple more months running in. If it tires you out too much, especially since you're running the next day, than just do a mid tempo run instead. But, hey, if it feels good and works out great, go for it. |

I'm following a Runners World programme so I'm going to try to stick to it as much as I can. Tried and Tested as they say! They say that the long run is the most important followed by the speed session so I'll do those. I hope I'm not going to get too tired quite this early in the programme or I'll never make it! -- Rachael 176/116/119 www.justgiving.com/rachaelslondonmarathon |

That's cool! And you'll do it fine. |
