Week 8 of Marathon Training: Sept 28 – Oct 4


Monday – Lunch: 3 miles!  Home: 6 miles.  The weather is finally only hitting highs in the low-90s, so most of the time it was only been in the 80s when I get my run in.  So much better!

Tuesday – Had a work dinner, so hit the gym in the basement of the building between work and the dinner.  2 miles (17:30 – 9:10 & 8:20), then lifted arms – bent over row, shoulder press, bicep curl, chest press, triceps extensions, and leg raises.

Wednesday – Lunch: 3 miles.  Evening: Group Run: 4 miles.  Followed up with some (Chicago) 312 Beer!

Thursday – Top Golf and sand volleyball sort of day. There was no running and no ‘true workout,’ but I woke up super sore on Friday!

Friday – Off Day

Saturday – 16 miles (2:44:02 – 10:15 pace).  This run went extremely well.  I did 10.5 miles and ended up back at the house, had to charge the watch/iPod for 30 minutes then went out for the last 5.5 miles.  Ran the full 16 in new shoes and had no problems.

Sunday – Off Day – surprising how good I felt after 16, no soreness or fatigue.

 

Total miles: 34 miles.  Right on target!
