New Update; September 7, 2021

I haven't blogged in awhile, but I'll try to get back into the swing of things.

So I ran a race a few days after the last time, I blogged.  It went OK; however, the next day I was likely exposed to the virus and shortly thereafter I tested positive for COVID-19.

Thankfully, I had a mild case and recovered fairly quick.

As I pointed out before, a knee issue slowed down my quest to get the miles needed for the Great Virtual Run Across Tennessee and even though I walked some, COVID slowed it down even further.

I ended my July 25 - August 24 reporting period with 41.76 miles walking, another 22.81 miles on my feet and 40.6 miles cycling - a total of 105.17.

May 25 to June 24 was 343.13 miles combined.

June 25 to July 24 was still 274.8 miles.

This is what I've done since August 25:

September 7 (Tuesday) - 4.176 miles walking at Knox Junior High (1:04:21.87)

Running races no longer a big priority of mine, and with my cross country announcing season coming quickly I will less and less time to run them.

I haven't run since July 25, and that's OK.  When I walk, I walk to break a sweat - or be soaked actually.

I'd been out to the track on Wednesday night a couple of times.  

That's different because I used to go regularly, but I needed to take a break from Bill's group for about three months.

I was out there this evening - on a Tuesday - for the first time since early May.

I covered 4.176 miles - 16 laps in lane 4 - at Knox Junior High in 1:04:21.87 - a 15:25 pace.

4:11.85

4:06.75

4:07.72

4:05.95

4:03.91

4:03.47

4:06.14

3:38.34

3:47.90

3:58.14

4:01.60

4:00.81

4:01.99

4:02.17

4:02.51

4:02.62

So pretty consistent.

Those laps in the middle included a little running with Mike Kuykendahl, while catching up a little bit.  Good stuff.

Will probably be back out at the track tomorrow evening.

Have a great Wednesday.
