MARATHON TRAINING UPDATE

On Tuesday I set out to try to jog a 10 miler - nonstop.  Not only did I do the 10 miles, in honor of Spinal Tap I did one more ("this one goes to eleven").  My goal for a long run this week was only 8 miles so I'm well ahead of my schedule (which was way behind schedule - if that makes any sense?).

I felt like hell after that 11 miles but I recovered surprisingly fast and did 4 miles the following day, so I am feeling somewhat optimistic!!!

Here is a break down of what I have done through last week to prepare:

G: = GOAL FOR THAT DAY

A= ACTUAL AMOUNT JOGGED (on some days I jog more than once so that is why there may be two amounts jogged for one day)

CROSS = Some sort of exercise not necessarily jogging
