Mondays always seem to be a little harder. I lose a little bit from the two-day break from running. But if I were to run six or seven days in a row, I think that would be too much for my knees. The break is necessary.
So, if I can run every day this week, I should be up to running a full hour by Friday. That may be a five mile run, but only if I can get up to the right pace and stay there. Also, we'll be traveling this week, so I will need to put in the extra effort to get the runs in.
One or two of my runs will probably be on the boardwalk in New Jersey where I grew up. I'm looking forward to that. I used to put in 15 miles on the boardwalk every Saturday, and I averaged about 70 miles a week. That was a million years ago when I was in high school. The high school version of myself could run circles around me now.
Literally.
I remember my fastest time for the quarter mile was 54.9. Today, I'd be lucky to make it in three minutes.
Oh well, remember Teddy Roosevelt: "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."
BMI is 34.7.
