October Summary

So October is over.

A solid month of rebuilding, leaving me in a good position to start some real training in November. Got the OK from the physio and doctor to run my spring marathon and made very good progress recovering from my achilles problems. By far my best month since May.

October Totals:
-- No races, no (big) hills, no speedwork
-- Ran 134 miles (same as JUN/JUL/AUG/SEP combined)
-- No biking or swimming
-- No pool running - Woohoo!
-- 29 days of running - highest of any month ever
-- 1086 Running Miles for 2007
-- Back up to mid 30's weekly mileage
-- Longest run now up to 9 miles (pain free!)
-- Started to do some tempo work in the high 6's/low 7's
-- Tons of stretching, calf exercises and ice

November Goals
-- A race, finally! 10k on 11/11
----- hoping for an uneventful 7:00 pace (43:30)
-- weekly mileage to mid 40's
-- run pretty much every day (1 day off every 4 weeks)
-- 170 total for the month
-- Long run up to 14 miles
-- Longer tempos (2x3miles, 2x20mins)
-- Start Friday race pace workouts
-- Marathon training program starts 11/19
