Monday – Lunch: 3 easy miles.
Tuesday – Lunch: 3 miles. Got a last minute invite to the Rangers game
with some friends. Good thing I had a
workout bag with me. Switched my Tuesday
strength workout with my Thursday run!
Wednesday –
Lunch: 3 miles. A solid group run of 4
miles.
Thursday – Rest Day
Friday – Lunch: 2 easy miles with a few 0.25
pickups thrown in. Tested out some of
the machines in the weight room: chest press, leg extension, leg press, squats
with overhead press and bicep curls (since I missed weights on Tuesday).
Saturday – Long Run: 11 miles. I was really happy with this run, it took me
a bit to get functioning and going, but once I did, it was a breeze. I stuck with my 0.1 walk/0.9 run. I do that for several reasons: to save energy
and restrict myself from using too much energy early on and dying at the end
and to emulate water stations which I walk through on the course. I kept it easy and finished with a 10:20
pace. I went out 5.5 miles and back 5.5
miles, took a gel at Mile 5 and felt great for the second half. Then went and got Whataburger and discovered that
they have root beer milk shakes – awesome!
Sunday – Rest
Day! Sunday Funday – went to friend’s
house and relaxed in their pool. Trying
to soak up as much summer as I can before it is over.
Total miles: 26 miles and a little bit of strength.
This concludes the first part of my marathon training plan of the base phase, now to start building. Both the weekly mileage and the long run.
