| Happy Birthday William Shakespeare! Anyone see the Boston Marathon? I did, DVRed it. Good race, exciting finish to the womans race. I just wonder what Lance did to line up with the elite runners. Sorry he's not that fast, alot faster then me but not up there with the elites. Their's been other celebrity runners what made him so special? Ok he's raising money for cancer but he can do that lining up any where. | | |
| Today I got in 12 miles at Mill Creek Park. Overall a good run, but it rained most of the time, was a dreary 55*. Blah. I seemed to wake up with a headache and its hung around all day.
This week I totaled 33.5 miles, longest run was the 12 today. Did a tough hill run thursday so some sort of speedwork. Overall I just didn't feel it was a great week. I do think if I can get a good week in this week I should be in good shape. Either way I have to be ready, I start the taper in a week. I plan to run about 45 miles, with a long run of 21 on Sunday. I want to do some sort of speedwork, intervals or tempo, whichever is fine. I hope to do a mid week 8 miler also. Overall I think this year has gone better then last year. May 18th we will find out if it pays off. | | |

| I completed my week with 51.6 miles. I set out this week to make it to 50 miles and I was able to break it with a rest day even. I had it in my head I needed to make it to 50 miles, seemed like a good number. I still feel it was a quality week. First, I got more miles then I ever did before. Secondly, I got in a 20 mile long run at Mill Creek park, plenty of hills. And thirdly, a tempo run on Wednesday went well.
This year my training has been different then last year.
- More MPW this year during training.
- An 18 week plan over 16 last year.
- Less speedwork in the form of intervals. Mostly Yasso 800's last year
- More long runs. 3 20 milers planned this year over 2 last year.
- Tempo runs. I need to check but dont think I did them last year.
- I toped out last year at 43 miles. I have been over that 3 times now.
With 5 weeks till marathon, 2 weeks still I start my taper I just hope for 2 more good weeks. I think I jumped miles a bit this week, so next week will do a slight cutback week and try to get in the 30-35 range. The week after that I hope to be in the 45-50 range before I start taper. | | |
