Week 10
This week was all messed up, but here is the break down such as it was.
Monday
2 miles easy. I ended up running this on Thursday since my last long run was Tuesday. I ran 2.55 miles easy.
Wednesday
I ran this 8 mile speed run on Saturday. It was not really a speed workout. I just ran. I had even forgotten that I was supposed to run 8 miles, but ran 7.85 miles anyway.
Saturday
20 mile long run. I ran this on Monday (today) and had a great run. Since I bailed on my 18 miler last week, I was a little nervous about pushing up to 20. The longest run previously had been 16 miles. I just took it slow and made sure that I took my walk breaks as needed. I was almost 2 minutes per mile too slow on this run. I don’t care. I am not shooting for any time goal on the marathon. I will push myself next time to stay within the plan.
Week 11
Monday: 2 miles at 10:19 pace.
Wednesday: 7 mile tempo.
Saturday: 16 miles at 10:19.
