Monday (10/21): On Monday morning, I had agreed to lead a 4 mile group run for a conference our division was hosting at the Renaissance Hotel on Wentworth Street in downtown Charleston. There was a small number, which I personally was thankful for, as I had just run the Myrtle Beach Half Marathon the morning before. We took it real easy at a 10:45 and I did a tour of Rainbow Row, Waterfront Park, The Battery, & King Street. It was a nice little run after the race.
Tuesday (10/22): No workout
Wednesday (10/23): 4 mile early run with the MUSC Pediatrics Running Group at 5:30 AM
Thursday (10/24): No workout
Friday (10/25): Today I needed to get in a 6 mile walk to begin simulating Goofy Challenge work. Since it is getting dark faster, I decided to break it up. So my coworker and I walked 3 miles at lunch and ate at The Alley. Then when I got home I walked another 3 miles with my wife and dogs through the neighborhood.
Saturday (10/26): Today I did a 9 mile run in downtown Charleston with my running buddy Dave! He is now in beast mode as well, training for a marathon in New Orleans in early February.
Yearly Running Goal: 1000 Miles
Weekly Mileage: 23.43 Miles
Remaining to Goal: 252.01 Miles
Great job this week, it was really nice of you to lead the running tour in Downtown Charleston, that is a neat way to see the city 🙂
Thanks! How’s your training going after the marathon? What is your mileage for next Saturday? I saw Andrew’s post about the run group for next Saturday. I have to do 18. I think I have 2 that are going to split it up, but 18 downtown is going to be rough. I may think about venturing to the island sometime soon.
I’m running the James Island Connector 10K next Saturday, as I’m an ambassador for the race. On Nov. 9 I will be back at run club and I will be there for awhile doing Saturday long runs, no races coming up.
We have group runs every single Saturday at IOP and you’re more than welcome to come out.
I got 3 coming up in the next 2.5 months. I am getting into the dreaded long training run for the marathon in January.
I loved doing my long runs on Saturdays with the group- it was actually the running workout I liked the most and looked forward to. Maybe I just looked forward to the lunch I’d treat myself to afterwards, lol. All my races now are short but they are on Saturday mornings which means I end up doing long runs on Sundays those weeks.
