5 miles last night in 38:19. Felt really strong the whole second half of the run and finished the last mile in just over six mins. I can tell as my traning goes along the runs are getting easier.

How many days a week do most of you run?

I bought a knee brace. Gonna try it out and see if I can prevent the knee tweaks. Didn't have any trouble yesterday on the treadmill. Missed my workout this morning so I'll do the strength training tonight. Side squats seem to be the biggest issue with my knee.

The program I am using now is a four day a week program and only run back to back days once during that week. Usually Wednesday and Thursday

Cardio of some sort 3 days on and one off. Typicallyy throw an intervals elliptical workout between two runs. Gives my lower legs and feet the off days they need. At my age, shin splints and ankles are an issue.

Headwind sucked but 54° & sunny so I ain't complaining. 4 miles cross country.

Total - 118.5

Had an easy run last night.. three miles in 21:38. Legs are getting sore from this training program. I am trying to ice and stretch as much as possible but still fairly sore.

I didn't do good on my workout this morning. I let the music get to me, slowed down the treadmill and cranked up the incline.

I'm gonna try running outside at some point, soon.

I think you'll find it much preferable. I'm spoiled here in Peachtree City though.... Over 100 miles of winding, scenic paved paths to choose from!!

Volly, I'm committed to your running so here are 4 places to run that you probably already know about.

I appreciate your commitment. :)

I watched one of those parks coming together actually. I worked right beside it until last August.

Thanks for the info.
