weekend wrap up
hope you like the new look of the blog. it took me long enough to figure it out. i’m still a rookie with this PHP stuff.
saturday afternoon i headed out with temps in the mid 20’s with cloudy skies and a brisk northwest wind. i managed 12 miles at 7:48 pace, which was pretty good considering the conditions and the amount of gear i was wearing.
sunday afternoon it was sunny but the temps and wind was pretty much like yesterday. to start off, i ran the same 12 mile route as saturday then came home to get some dry clothes on (and make a "pit stop"). i then headed out for another 6 miles bringing the total to 18 for the day. it took me just a little less than 2:30 so a little under 8:20 pace.
it’s now 6 weeks to BOSTON. i could be further along, but i could also be further behind. for the first 6 weeks of the 12 week training cycle, my weekly miles have been 63, 59, 52, 50, 50, 50 for a total of 324 miles.
the next 3 weeks are especially important to stay healthy and get in more 18-20 milers.
