marathon training week 9: long run

marathon training: week 4 retrospective

-3x1600 on Thursday at the gym
-3 mile tempo on Saturday
-9 mile run on Sunday.  It was supposed to be 10 but I started late and it was getting warm.  Nice to get three runs in this week--hopefully this will continue.
-mileage for week 5: 10x400, 5, 14. 

marathon training: week 2 retrospective

-4x1200 at the gym on Monday

that's it!  It was a busy work week and busy over the weekend playing host to many Scrabble friends in town.

post-race training: week 3 retrospective

-4 miles at the gym
-6 miles with Nike.  Ran much faster than usual.  I was ahead of this trio of runners most of the way and wanted to finish ahead of them.  Unfortunately, they passed me in the end.  Oh well, I'm still happy with the time.
-3 miles on Saturday.  Ran down the crooked street for the first time.  Not as fun having to dodge tourists and their cars.
-6 miles on Sunday.  It was a nice day for a run
-mileage for week 4: 5,5,3.  I'm supposed to run a race this weekend to cap off 5 weeks of recovery.  Perhaps the Angel Island 12K. 

post-race training: week 2 retrospective

-being out of town messed with my running schedule yet again
-3 miles on Thursday.  Not sure how I did it.  I was probably exhausted from being in Dallas for five days
-4 miles on Saturday.  Ran the most recent Nike RunClub route.
-6 miles on Sunday.  Ran the most recent 6-mile Nike RunClub route.  So close to skipping out on this -- glad I had the will power to do it.
-mileage for week 3: 4,5,4,60 minutes.  Getting back to more serious weekday mileage.  No plans for serious travel for a while.  Hopefully I can get back on track with running this week.
