After a few weeks of struggling to get in my 55 miles (~89km) each week, I now for the first week in the last several, completed all 55 damn miles (~89 damn kilometers) in the way I wanted to! I am finished for the week and it is Friday morning! Yeah!
Now, for the last few weeks, since my treadmill went belly-up, I have been struggling and fussing to try to get in ~11miles on each weekday. I rarely met the ~11 mile goal more than once or twice a week during the last several weeks. This would mean I would have to devote time on Saturday and sometimes Sunday to play "catch-up" so that I could hit 55 miles before the week ended (my gizmo watch records the week as beginning on Monday, and that is how I have also been logging miles in my logbook as well).
But, I feel good that I found a way to get to 11 miles or more each and every weekday this week!!!!!! I feel like I have been able to wrangle myself back into the consistency I had been maintaining for such a long time, prior to the damn treadmill failing.
Maybe, with this accomplishment, I will be able to find a bit of time this weekend to dismantle the errant beast and see if there some potential way that I can repair it and have it available again for rough days? It would be good if I could figure out a way to fix it.

That 55 mile a week goal is amazing to me. My shins and knees couldn't take it.
ReplyDeleteAs Margaret writes, what you accomplish is rather amazing. My knees gave out at 30. When I say gave out, I mean running hurt them.
ReplyDeleteI feel lucky for a walk
