Marathon Training Week 8

Another kick ass week...

Monday: 5.36 miles at an average pace of 10:15

Tuesday: 5.7 miles at an average pace of 10:02

Wednesday: Rest, unless you count shopping for new kicks and socks as a workout. I got new Brooks Adrenaline GTS 11s, and so far, I am loving them. I also got Balega socks, and I'm loving those just as much.

Thursday: 4.01 miles at an average pace of 10:25

Friday: No exercising, but lots of craziness. And guacamole.

Saturday: South Shore Half - 13.1 miles in 2:22:49 - average pace was 10:54. According to my Garmin, my average MOVING pace was 10:29. That would have put me in at 2:17 - I'VE SO FREAKING GOT THIS next time. One more random tidbit from the day I forgot to mention in my report - I got a HUGE bruise on the little bone that sticks out of my wrist. Right where my Garmin sits. Anyone ever had that happen to them? I'm not sure if it was a fluke, or if I should get a different strap or try to wear something underneath it...

Sunday: Slept in, kids conned John into Dunkin Donuts, did a LOT of yard work (YAY! Productive!) and then went to the playground. Fantastic day!!

Week Total: 28.17 miles

I am really looking forward to stepping back this week. I need a break and some fun. Especially since on Friday, I officially step into the land of the Masters runner...

    Bobbi, you deserve a break! Yard work for me tomorrow, and going to try and make 5 miles tomorrow on my run.

    You rock and yes you have it.

    I wish you lived here so I could run with you, your pace is perfect for me but I tent to slow down on long runs when I am alone.

    If you every find yourself in Sacramento and looking for a running partner let me know.
