Sunday
Easy five.
Saturday
Good 8.
Friday
Really wanted to get at least 8 in, but ankles really sore and it'll be 10:00 p.m. before I can on it.
Nothing for today, crap.
Thursday
15 miler. Pulled back 15 sec/mile to handle heat.
This run will be a lot more fun four weeks from now when I'm 5 pounds lighter and it's 10 degrees cooler.
Wednesday
Jog / walk 8 to burn calories. Light weights and core work.
Tuesday
Was planning on running 14-15. After 3 my legs felt a little heavy. After 6 was really sweating. After 8, I was soaked and couldn't breath. Had to quit. It was then I saw that I was running with an extra 1/2% of incline.
Monday
Six during lunch. Nice and slow. Walk / ran another 8 after work to burn calories. Did some light weights and core work.
Only about 2% of runners will finish a marathon in less than 180 minutes (3 hours) After four months of intense training, well at that time (20-25 miles/wk), I ran the Houston half-marathon on January 16th, 2005. It was so grueling, I swore that was it. I'll never do another half, let alone a full. Fortunately a running comrade pushed me to do a full marathon. Rededicated, I set a sub 4:00 hour goal for the full Houston marathon the following year. I trained harder than ever and crossed the finish in 3:59; I was hooked. I've now run 21 marathons and this site is my journal to join that exclusive club of those who finish a marathon in under 180 minutes (3 hours). |
