Another week where my only goal was to get 6 days of running in. I'm still in the "easy" weeks of the plan so just trying to slowly build mileage. One thing I don't really like about the beginner Hanson's plan is that if you follow it by the book for the first six weeks, you have a big jump in weekly mileage from week 5 to week 6. Thus, to avoid that big jump, I'm trying to use the first 6 weeks as more of a build up so that by the time Week 6 comes, a 40 mile week won't seem so shocking.

Weekly Total
Plan says: 21 miles
What I did: 31.42 miles
I have logged two 31 mile weeks in a row. Looking back at last week, I didn't do any morning workouts (again) so I am limited by time in the afternoon which limits mileage. Looking forward to week 4, I am again aiming for 6 running days/week but aiming for >35 miles which means that I am going to have to get up in the morning. Cougar be damned!
