November was a month of running. Lots and lots of running...and only one race. Coach Mike decided that we need to build our base miles while the weather is good & hopefully keep that solid base through the winter and spring, so we're ready for marathon training come June. We've had 'run club' a few times...once just me and Dodd. Once me & Kelly & Mike {first time at run club} My IT band & right knee are so stressed from Saturday's run, that I don't want to run with faster people this week...so I'm not even offering up a day. Hoping to get in 4 tomorrow between the rain drops. NERC standings have me a solid overall third. I will stay there unless one of two things happen. 1. Crystal runs the Run Santa Run. 2. Leslie runs the Run Santa Run & beats me. {I should just say, Leslie runs the Run Santa Run, because I have yet to beat her in a 5k.} Worst case, I slip to Masters 2. I think at that point I'd rather be #1 in my age group.
Mike & I are lifting on Saturday mornings. I can bench half my body weight & am deep swimmer pressing 15 pounds for three reps. I'm also taking HITT class on Wednesdays.
November Totals:
126.47 miles for the month ~ makes up for the two months I was under 100!
