Happy Monday! I can’t believe the weekend is already over even though it was a wonderful 3 day weekend! In case you were out and about enjoying the sunshine, here is what you missed.
Thou Shalt Not Covet thy Neighbor’s Long Run
The Inn at Little Washington Double Date
Bo and I are officially a month into marathon training and so far things are going well.
The heat hasn’t kept me from averaging two outdoor runs per week, one long run and one tempo run. I’ve enjoyed runs with new and old friends alike, eaten four banana and peanut butter sandwiches so far, and have have only lost one toenail.
With 13 weeks left until the marathon, here’s how my mileage has progressed so far:
Week 3: 24 miles
Week 4: 23 miles
I was able to stick with all of my runs this week except the 2-3 mile shakeout that I was supposed to do yesterday. However, I did sprints as part of my personal training yesterday so it isn’t like I was lazy.
Monday: 4.8 miles split between a morning 5k and then the run home
Tuesday: Personal Training
Wednesday: 6 mile run outside
Thursday: rest day
Friday: 12 mile long run
Saturday: Personal Training
Sunday: 90 minute Vinyasa yoga class
It will definitely be harder to keep up with my schedule this week since I’m traveling to San Francisco, Chicago, and Philadelphia! In hopes of keeping accountable, here is this week’s schedule:
Monday: 5 mile speed workout
Tuesday: Personal Training
Wednesday: 4-5 mile run in San Francisco
Thursday: rest day
Friday: 14 mile long run along Lake Michigan
Saturday: Shake out run
Sunday: Yoga
My goal this week is to get in each run and focus on eating well while traveling with colleagues.
