Week 2 of Marathon Training: Aug 17 – Aug 23

Monday – Lunch: 3 easy miles. 

Tuesday – Gym: Spin 15-20 extremely easy, just got the legs moving.  At Body Pump I went extremely heavy on the first 3 exercise, increasing all of my weights.  Squats, chest, and back.  I feel that hits all the main groups.  I did my normal weights for everything else.  I will be feeling it tomorrow.

Wednesday – Lunch 3 miles. 

Thursday – Lunch: 2 miles.  It was a perfect running day, 71 – cloudy and a slight breeze!  Had to get another run on the beautiful evening: 5 miles in 46:26 (9:28, 9:07, 9:12, 9:03 & 8:50).  Felt great to get this run in.  It is hard to judge how good your runs are or how much you are improving when it is 95+ degrees out.  Total of 7 for the day!

Friday – Rest Day!

Saturday – 8 miles for the day.  I did my 5 mile loop, stopped back at the house for some water and fuel, then went back out for 3.  Still trying to get my body used to the long run!

Sunday – Was scheduled for 4 miles today.  Ran the first one, and my legs were just not getting going.  So I walked the last 3 as a shake out!

 
Total miles: 25 miles and 1 day of spin/strength
