11-6-11 Week update:
This week so far has been the most running filled for me so far since sometime earlier this past summer. I have mentally committed to running the Turkey Trot here in Cleveland, and to avoid complete embarrassment I thought I could try to start training these three Weeks beforehand.

Monday, 4.2 miles: run to work and back, still feeling a bit weak from not running very much, and maybe it's the backpack that is causing some of this. Really noticing the the small hills on the way to work. Also rolled my ankle as I mentioned in the previous post. Rock climbing with Joe and Scott at the Cleveland Rock Gym.

Tuesday, 4.2 miles: Same, starting to feel slightly stronger, but maybe it's the smaller backpack load this morning

Wednesday, 5 miles: no running to work and back, but rode my xtracycle. Wednesday night, run with the second sole striders, 4.5 to 5 miles. Ended up in the first group with Mike Z, and a newcomer Joel. We probably ran 7ish or under pace - kinda fartlek too with an extra .5 with mike at the end. Rode my bike both ways to the club for 11 miles of bike riding total for the day.

Thursday 4.2 miles: run to work and back. Starting to feel some tenderness in my arch/lower ankle? NOT AGAIN! stupid posterior tibialis tendinitis!  Hoping this isn't really the case . . . otherwise felt good mentally to run, but a little tired from yesterday's running and biking.
