Week 4 training report!

My next race: Peterborough 1/2 Marathon
Sunday February 25th


To sum up how I've felt this week, the best word I could come up with is "exhausted."
From this past Sunday (January 28th) to Friday (February 2nd) my total mileage was just over 90K.
This included 2 LSD's (24 and 25K), 1, 10K temp run, 8 sets of hill repeats and two runs of 12 and 15K.
By the time Friday came around I was physically and emotionally spent.
I took the past two days off from running and decided to ride my stationary bike for 60 minutes on Saturday and 90 minutes on Sunday. I also did some core work. My next scheduled run is a tempo on Tuesday but I may sneak out tomorrow for a light run of no more than 10K.
I've actually enjoyed the last few days as I needed to recover from 7 consecutive days of running.

I have decided not post my weight or eating "scale" anymore after having a great chat with one of my best friends. Instead I will focus more on my training and overall tips for healthy eating.

This week I will be running on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. I prefer this schedule than running for 7 consecutive days but I realize I must work around the fact that I watch my kids every other weekend.

I comend anyone who has braved the cold this past week. It has me dreaming of the spring and summer temperatures which for me can't get here fast enough.
