My official marathon training schedule kicks off next Monday with 3 miles (easy). This week I'm mimicking that schedule, just backing off the mileage a bit to get back into it. Yesterday and today I did 2 miles. I know, big whoop...but it is amazing how stiff my knees are and how unwilling my legs are - and I've not taken that much time off. To be fair, today was much easier than yesterday, despite the 82 degree heat. I have a friend in Phoenix who is dealing with 106 degrees so it's all relative, but 82 is HOT for me. My ideal temp for running is between 40 and 45 degrees, so 82 kills me.
Anyway, tomorrow is a core/strength day and I have a whopper of a Spartan workout planned. I doubt I will be able to complete it, but I will give it my best shot - and eventually I will complete it. I'll let you know how that goes tomorrow night.
I'll wrap up this week with 10 miles total, and ramp up to 14 next week. Sunday is a cross training day so I think I'll go hiking up in Wild Basin (maybe) or I might get on the bike if the hiking plans fall through. As God is my witness, I am not going into this marathon under trained. More tomorrow - have a good night!
