Been extremely cautious with my training lately. Taking rest days at least twice a week now. Not taking any chances with injuries and letting my body rest and recover so that I can run a solid marathon this year. It’s not easy and I am absolutely dying to run 50 mile weeks again. I even skipped doing a long run this week so that I could get some extra rest.
I am still skipping speedwork and hills but am starting to push the paces of my runs a little. Hopefully, I will add those back in soon! Training last week and this week were a little different since I was in Boston to watch this guy run but I was able to squeeze in a couple runs while in Boston.
Sunday: 7 miles
Monday: Rest
Tuesday: 5 Miles
Wednesday: 6 miles
Thursday: 7 amazing miles in the morning, 4 ok miles after work
Friday: 3 miles and 30 mins on the elliptical
Saturday: Rest-Traveled to Boston
Total Mileage: 32 miles
Oh and I also met this guy while in Boston
Hi Meb!
absolutely amazing to meet him. He was super nice and personable too. Just want to squeeze him and then run with him.
Next race on tap is the Glass City Half Marathon, this weekend! This is a flat course so I am hoping for a decent time. Wish me luck!
1 month til I toe the line for the Cleveland Marathon!!!
yay for half of the teabagger ladies taking on the glass city half! i am hoping we can celebrate some PR’s!
Can’t wait!!!!!
Good luck at Toledo on Sunday! Maybe I will see you out there! How did your guy, Ryan, do at Boston? Heard it was brutal out there. Can’t wait to hear!
Good Luck to you as well. Hopefully we run into each other! Ryan did great, especially with the conditions.
still sounds like a great week for keeping it easy! glad you had fun in boston, best of luck this weekend. chelsea tried to convince me to come run out there with you guys… it might just work.
Great work Jess! Good luck this weekend at Glas City! It is really cool that you got to meet Meb! wow, he’s short!
