It's now a little past the middle of January, a.k.a., the time when most people's New Year's Resolutions fall flat on their figurative faces. I'm proud to report that my running streak is still intact (19 consecutive days as of yesterday), and also that in a "run as you feel like it" fashion, I've been gradually upping my mileage, with no adverse effects to my foot. It's not totally better yet, but it's gradually improving, and since I'm enjoying my running routine (or lack of a highly specific one thereof), I think I'll stick with this vague outline of a plan for a while.
In the interest of being similarly aimless with my reporting, here's a summary of my last 7 days of running, starting on lucky January 13th:
13 January - ~5 miles (33 minutes), Highlandtown/Canton area.
14 January - ~3 miles (25 minutes) at Rocks State Park, in the snow, climbing and descending and all that trail-related stuff. ~2 miles (16 minutes) on roads about an hour later, as a warmup for swimming.
15 January - ~6 miles (43 minutes), Highlandtown/Canton in the morning, ~3+ miles (25 minutes) in and around Patterson Park in the evening
16 January - ~3 miles (23 minutes) in and around Patterson Park
17 January - ~3 miles (23 minutes) in and around Patterson Park
18 January - ~6 miles (45 minutes) in morning the snow and ice at APG, including 10 steep hill repeats by the bay, ~5 miles (37 minutes) in the evening, Highlandtown/Canton
19 January - ~3 miles (20 minutes) around Patterson Park, including 2 miles "tempo" (~6:30 mile pace)
Total miles: ~39
Total minutes: ~290
All in all, not a bad amount of mileage/time, considering that not a single mile of that was a mile that I "forced" myself to run, or felt "bad" while running. Of course, once my foot becomes more solid, that will probably change, but for the time being, I'm enjoying enjoying running, and I'd like it to stay that way for a while.
