This is how running week three turned out.  Three weeks already!  I have to say it feels really good to be able to get to this point.  I have managed to stick with the plan and found time to work out the five days out of seven I had proposed.  I have also managed to work around some bad weather and trade outdoor running for indoor treadmill running.  I seem to go back and forth with which I prefer.  Last year all my training was done indoor on a treadmill.  Now I have four different mileage routes in my neighborhood that I like.  I guess having both is just an added bonus.
I was going to say next week I add more miles but the plan totals the 15.5 miles I ran this week.  It seems I head-started myself last Sunday with a long 4.5 mile run when I was only assigned three.  I had managed to wind myself into a knot and that afternoon the time running just got away from me.  I am a bit surprised when I look and see the number now.  But it's a good surprised and I am starting week four today.  I am assigned another 3 miles today and will do at least that. 
It looks like I have some good weather coming up this week so I may be able to hit the neighborhood routes.
So as they say...So far so good!
How appropriate to mention far when I am running.
