the week’s end: 8 weeks to go
8 weeks left til the marathon? Two months is not very long. Especially since I felt everything unraveling around me this week. Sure, one could argue, I got in all my mileage, so how bad could it be? Well, with the exception of the fun GYRO meet up run on Sunday, I dreaded each run and felt miserable almost the entire time I was running. Gone are the days when I was able to have marathon pace runs. Gone are sub-9 paces. Gone is my confidence. But I’m here, I survived.
This week’s miles:
Sunday–12; fabulous run with GYRO girls Erika and Nicole
Monday–5 miles and Jazzercise
Tuesday–16 miles
Wednesday–rest
Thursday–5 miles
Friday–10 miles
Total: 48
Oh but there is good news! Next week is a step back week. Meaning less mileage and an extra day of rest. Oh I so need that! Also, Mr. Dawn comes back tonight. It has been 16 long weeks since we’ve both been at home. It is going to refresh and restore me so much to have him here.
School starts Monday. I hope that it means life with become more structured and I will magically be able to run faster…we shall see…
Honey, I am so proud of you. The weather is horrible, yet there you are, out there running, getting in ALL of your mileage… You are amazing!!
