Week 8…done! Kind of hard to believe I’m almost halfway through my plan, although I realize the second half will be more work (miles) than the first half. In any case, here’s what this week looked like…
Monday – 4 mile TM after school (was really rushed between school and an interview/class)
Tuesday – 4 mile outside in the am
Wednesday – 7 mile TM: 2 w/u 4x yasso 800 (.5 hard, .5 easy), 1 cool down
(8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3)
Thursday – off
Friday – 15.1
Saturday – hour long spinning with the tri-club – such a fun group (we play contact) and a great way to keep my legs moving (and the lactic acid from building up) post long-run. I really look forward to the spin sessions.
Sunday – 7 mile run – was trying to take it slow, but somehow my pace ended up being in the low 8 min miles…pace is all relative but this was faster than I was thinking for a “shake-out” run
Totals: 37.1 running
Taking on Life...One Step at a Time 
Great job on your marathon training! I’m just around the 1/2 way point in my training plan as well….what race are you getting ready for?
Boston! (for charity, I might add). This will be my first, and I am beyond excited! Wahat race are you running?
Boston…wow, how cool! I’d love to run Boston, this year I feel like a BQ is JUST within reach so it has me even more determined with my training. I am running the Garden Spot Village Marathon (Lancaster, PA) in April, still TBD for a fall race. :-)
Ah, best of luck with that! We’ll see how marathon #1 goes, but I feel like BQing will definitely be on my “racing bucket list” in the near future. I’m hoping you have a less snowy/icy training than I am having!
