Weekly Running Update

I can’t quite figure out what try of content I want to post, I decided that at least once a week and post some updates about my running. I always wonder how many miles or how many times a week do you have to run to consider yourself a runner. I average around 30 miles a week, but I would like to average somewhere around 35-40 miles a week. I would like to try to get in a long run at least once a week of 10+ miles. I'm still working on getting myself out there and setting a block of time so I can do it. This past week of 2/6 – 2/12/12 I put in 33 miles.

On Sunday I went to the Lake Pflugerville and ran with a friend once around the lake. This is maybe the second time I’ve ever run with another person. I usually like to run by myself because I don’t usually make plans or like to stick to someone else’s plans. I have to say it wasn’t that bad and made the time seem to go by faster. I was thinking I would like to try to with a partner or a group of my friends maybe once or twice a month.

On another note, I’ve run through my first pair of shoes for 2012, it doesn’t seem like a big deal for a lot of people, but it’s exciting to know that you can go out and get another pair and take them out for a run as soon as you get home. It takes me back to when I was a kid and it was the night before the first day of school and I would lay out my clothes on the floor, I would even put my socks into my shoes. I was so excited then and I’m excited now knowing that I’m going to be shoe shopping soon.
