14 weeks to go

Well, I had the best intentions.  It was 20 weeks to go.  I thought I could use Brad Hudson's "Run Faster" schedule, to get back in shape and give 3:15 a scare.  Life and not really caring has derailed that dream.  I've basically just run and not all that much.  My only emphasis has been increasing my long run (up to 15 now) so that I can ramp up and get some 20 milers in.  I've had a slight strain with my right lower leg (lateral side -- calf or one of those stabilizer muscles), for the last couple of weeks, so I ran/walked Sun - Sat this week.  Here's the tally

• week of 5/27 - 55 miles - 9, 7/2, 6, 10.2, 6, 8.8, 5.4, 9.9
• week of 6/4 - 44 miles - 4.7, 7.9, 2, 0.7, 8.6, 6.5, 13.6
• week of 6/11 - 49 miles - 0, 10, 6.4, 8, 7.7, 6.1/1.6, 2.9, 13.6
• week of 6/18 - 42 miles - 8, 1.1, 7.6, 8, 1.4/3 (before and after swim meet), 13.6
• week of 6/25 - 32 miles - 0 (no sleep), 7.5, 7.1, 8.2, 0 (6:30am flight), 0 (swim meet/tired, sore) , 9.1 (run/walk) -- work travel this week
• week of 7/2 - 50 miles - 8.3 (r/w), 8 (r/w), 8.8 (r/w), 0,  8.1 (r/w), 2.2 (swim meet), 15 on mill

All running quite slow except  6/26.  miles were 9:05, 7:57/153, 7:32/160, 8:01/155, 7:26/166, 8:01/163, 7:29/170, 10:29.  This was on a track.  Wx was pretty good.  It was 70 deg and dry (in desert).

Where to go from  here?  I need to stop skipping days, but I'm just not motivated and am able to rationalize a tweaked muscle into an off day or use a family activity (read: swimming) as an excuse.  15 miles is enough for the long run for now.  I could try and add a mid-week medium long run or add some intensity.  Ah, maybe I'll just shoot for finishing.
