This was my first week being back in my normal schedule of running and soccer games, so it was a bit easier to get my mileage in than it has been the past few weeks. But, I was definitely sore Wednesday after playing 3 games in a row!
Sunday – pick-up soccer, approximately 3.5 miles. I actually forgot to bring my Garmin with me to soccer, so I’m estimating this based on the last few times I’ve played. Several weeks I’ve hit 4-5 miles, but I’d rather err on the shorter side.
Monday – 7 v 7 soccer game, 1.83 miles. We won the game 6-1 and luckily missed out on the rain by a matter of a few minutes!
Tuesday – 7 v 7 soccer game, 2.39 miles. We lost 2-1, but it was a good game and I got some good mileage in. Here’s an idea of what my Garmin map looks like after a soccer game:
Wednesday – 7 v 7 soccer game, 2.36 miles. We tied the game 2-2 and did pretty well for our first game back since early December. The field we play on for this league is a lot smaller than the one I play on for my Monday & Tuesday night teams, so it’s a very fast-paced game.

It’s been a good week and I was able to hit 23.63 miles, 4 miles over my target! Next week includes a longer run (12 miles), so I should be hitting similar mileage again. What did your mileage look like for the week?
