So I ran after work on Monday down at the UA with friend, coworker and very first training partner Paki. We wanted to get about 2 miles in, but I think we were just shy of that, with about 1.75. It was a good recovery run, after the 13.1 on Saturday that really hurt my body. Took Tuesday off, and ran at lunch today. Once again, we (Paki and I) wanted to get in more mileage than we actually did - I think we maybe got 2.1 miles, when I wanted three. I still think I'll get 30 miles this week. I really want to hit this goal, as the first week of my "monster month."

How I will accomplish this:
1. Run 8-mile tempo run tomorrow morning
2. Run three miles prior to Ash's birthday party on Saturday
3. Run 15.2 as part of a TTR trail run on Sunday in Santa Catalina mountains

The above mileage added to the 1.75 and 2.1 with Paki = 30.05. Provided my approximations of mileage with Paki are on, and provided I actually do my planned runs (oh, such a hard thing to do!), I will get 30 miles this week. Woo hoo! (Ok, maybe I shouldn't celebrate yet...)

*gasp* I ate two burritos for dinner tonight - yes, count them, TWO! I haven't eaten that much at dinner since I developed gallbladder disease. I felt a bit like the naughty kid sneaking cookies. They were at least healthy burritos - fajita chicken, pinto beans and corn wrapped in whole wheat tortillas - and on the small size. But I've really held myself back from eating in large quantities since the gallbladder began hurting, because that generally sets it off. But I've been so hungry since I've upped my mileage! I enjoyed every bite, and am pretty sure they won't hurt my gallbladder (fingers crossed).
