So, I am behind a week. Not in my training, but in talking about my training, LOL. Last week (May 23-29), my mileage was supposed to look like this:
Monday: rest
Tuesday: rest
Wednesday: 8 miles
Thursday: 6 miles
Friday: rest
Saturday: 12 miles
Sunday: 10 miles
Total mileage: 36 miles
My training schedule generally has me in a cycle where I am working hard for 3 weeks, then having a recovery week with lower mileage. That recovery week was that week. Even with lighter mileage, I still had trouble following the plan, LOL. I totally feel like Captain Barbosa in Pirates of the Carribbean. The plan is more like guidelines than actual rules.
Gotta watch it.
OK, I got distracted. Sorry about that.
Here's what my week actually looked like:
Monday: Happy Run, with my friend Brooke. We did the short route, since my legs were tired from my 25 mile run the day before. 2.57 easy miles.
Tuesday: 1.25 easy miles in my neighborhood, with Daisy.
Wednesday: I was actually planning on getting my miles in this evening, but then had to go to Anchorage for work unexpectedly. I did squeeze in a quick run on the coastal trail, 3.39 miles.
Thursday: Knoya Ridge run. 8.51 miles.
Friday: 1.02 easy miles, again in my neighborhood with Daisy.
Saturday: Trent/Waldron half marathon 13.1 miles.
Sunday: 3.23 miles at Matanuska Lake.
Total mileage: 33.07 miles.
Although my mileage was split up differently than prescribed by my plan, I got pretty close to the mileage goal this week. Much better than last week.
