We would like to thank Mr. & Mrs. Stanton, dear friends from Michigan, for donating to help support Athletes in Tandem! Your kind donation will help support challenged athletes to participate in competitive events.
Training:
Jan 23- Fantastic 5 mile run
Jan 24- Strength training & an hard 6.5 mile hill run
Jan 25- Graham ran 4 miles easy, Steph took the day off to rest her knee
Jan 26- Cross train, rode our bikes for an hour
Jan 27- Easy 3 mile run
Jan 28- 13.1 mile run & ran a new route that was mostly on unpaved surfaces.
After running so much on concrete/asphalt, Steph’s knee has been giving her a bit of trouble. Running more frequently on unpaved surfaces can help curb the amount of shock your knees receive & reduces impact on your joints.
Jan 29- Easy day strength training at the gym, enjoying a soak in the hot tub & a glorious visit to the steam room there!
Fun Fact
Since we have begun using an online resource to document our runs/workouts, we have roughly ran 357.92 miles since November! There are a few days here & there missing & we were not very good at first using it to record our distances or times, but now everyday we keep track of our workouts. We have been using Mapmyrun.com & it’s a wonderful resource to use, as it can map & calculate the amount of miles you run on the route you choose. We have been getting a few questions about how we track or figure out the distances we run & there is our magical site we use. We have also switched to wearing a new pair of running shoes! It’s interesting how quickly shoes break down after so many miles! We are thankful to have new cushion under our feet!
