Logging Miles

Ok I think I can remember what I've run the past week. 5 miles on Friday the 13th, 4 miles on Sunday with pyramid intervals, 3 miles on Monday I think but I'm not positive on this one, 4.5 miles on Thursday an 3 miles today.
My 4 mile run with pyramid intervals went very well. I hadn't worked on speed intervals in quite a few weeks. It felt good to really push myself.
My 4.5 mile was awesome. I really did not want to go running. There were some thunderstorms that came through that night and I had mixed feelings. I was disappointed to not be able to run but then again relieved that I had an excuse not to go. Well the storms cleared up by 7:00 so I pushed myself out the door. The run was great a little muggy and buggy but I did not once feel like walking for the entire run. I haven't had a great run like that in quite a while.
Today I did double duty I did The Firm in the afternoon then a 3 mile run after dinner. I was hoping to go on a 6 mile run but Jake's schedule didn't allow for it. Tomorrow 6 miles that is the plan. I also want to go for a bike ride tomorrow morning.
I have been pushing working on weight training on my upper body. My arms are sore. All during my run today I could feel the muscles in my chest were so sore. But I like the soreness from working hard. It lets you know something is happening you muscles are breaking down and becoming stronger. All my muscles are sore except my Biceps despite doing 3 sets of 10 of bicep curls and hammer curls I think it is time to get some 12 lb weight for the Biceps.
I have rambled on long enough I need to find another race to run in the next few weeks.
