So this week is the second official start of my marathon training. I say that almost laughing! I am disppointed that I am having to start over but also happy that I can save up some of my energy and do my longer runs in the somewhat cooler weather that should be headed our way soon. Last week was refreshing. I took extra time to rest and really enjoyed my shorter long run on Saturday! It was amazing and when I was done, I felt like I could have gone farther. I think that's a good feeling to have sometimes.
Monday was a short 3+ mile run. It was a hoilday so I saved my run for the evening and ran from here to the Muriel's house. That was kind of fun since it was a totally new running route for me. Tuesday I did spin class again. Wednesday was the usually speedwork which included 1/2 mile repeats and a total of about 3 1/2 miles. Thursday was a nice outdoor 5 mile run and some upper body work ( a note about that; my muscles are losing some of their strength for sure. I can not do the weight that I was doing a few months ago nor do as many reps without getting tired. I don't want to lose my muscles but find it hard to fit it all in. Maybe now that the kids are in school I will be able to find a balance). Saturday I did 8 miles and felt great again.
Total for the week: 19+
