Hail my running brothers and sisters! This week I ran 13.56 miles at an average of 8:32/mi. I did 4:02:00 hrs of cross-training/cardio, thanks mostly to 3 hrs spent on the golf course. I have no idea what I weigh, but if I'm anywhere in the neighborhood of 165 lbs, I'll be shocked. I had a lot key lime pie this vacation. A LOT. I was hoping to get a bit more mileage this week, but due to a nasty rainstorm yesterday, I did not get to finish my run. I did get pelted by sand and water for a good mile. And I learned this neat trick that turns my cell phone into a brick. Otherwise, I was not overly happy with my run. To add insult to injury, after I made it back to the condo and dried off, it, of course, stops raining and turns into a beautiful afternoon. I took it as a sign that the Universe hates me called it a day. No workout today either as I spent 8 hours driving back from the beach. I'm planning on crashing early and starting over tomorrow. This is muy importante as I officially start my marathon training tomorrow. I'm even using a plan (sort of). That's all I have for now. Later kids!
Congrats on beginning marathon training. What plan are you (sort of) using?
ReplyDeleteHey Marie,
ReplyDeleteI'm using a modified plan from Runner's World Smart Coach. I believe this is a modified Jack Daniel's plan. I'm still toying with the mileage that I'll be doing each week plus I have 3 races that come up during training (that's where the 'sort of' comes in), so I'm still trying to get it to fit with my schedule. Thanks for the encouragement!
