Rock n Roll Arizona January 14 (Maybe this isn't a spring marathon) 2:59:59

Mon- 9 miles
Tue- 9 miles
Wed- am 9 miles pm 4 miles
Thu- 10 miles including 30 minute tempo run
Fri- 11 miles
Sat- rest
Sun- 9 miles

62 miles in total. I feel like I'm really half-assing my training lately, general life and minor aches and pains have kept me from putting some good weeks together. It hasn't been terrible, but not exactly stellar either.

Well I guess the posting of weekly training begins. I'm about three weeks out from my 18-week Marathon plan. Still in recovery mode from NYC on 11/5 as last week's runs show. Had to get through a tight hamstring that seems to have cleared up. Basically easy runs for the next three weeks trying to build the mileage back up. Have a 5 mile turkey trot on Thurs, lets see if I have any speed in these legs.

Sun->Wed: Off
Thu: 6 mi, 47:28, 7:55/mile
Fri: 6 mi, 47:31, 7:55/mile
Sat: 8.03mi, 1:04:57, 8:05/mile
Tot: 20.03 miles

Hopefully, this week I'll be up to ~45-50, then 60-70 then 70-80. My first week of training I will be away on vacation so I'll try to get some quality workouts in, but probably won't get the mileage up.

Hey Andy. No worries. Life get busy for all of us from time to time

I actually bit the bullet and signed up for Boston last week. Now, I HAVE to train. Eek!

Ok, as for training last week, let's see. Last week was another easy week just easing my mileage back up.

Su-12 miles with a group. I broke down and found running buddies. I wasn't sure if I'd like running with others but it was actually really fun. Anyway, we ran on muddy hilly trails and I got filthy and that part was fun too.

Mo-6 easy miles at lunch time outside

Tu-6 easy miles at lunch time outside

We - mixing things up-6 easy miles at lunchtime on the treadmill

Thur - 6 easy miles at lunch time outside

Fri- off

Sat- 6 easy miles around the neighborhood.

Not particularly exciting but I'm back up to 42 miles this week and I felt pretty good doing it. Can't ask for much more than that right now!

Good weeks everyone!

PS Runninlaw--you know what they say about great minds (check out our first sentences! )

PPS Runninlaw--congrats on winning your AG on a less than stellar day (although it doesn't sound like it was nearly as bad as it felt!)

Great week overall. Felt pokey for most of it, but I did have some fast miles in there.

M - 9 miles recovery
T - 8.5 miles, 6x800 metre repeats included
W - 7.5 miles general aerobic
T - 8+ miles with 7x.4mile hill repeats
F - 12 miles to work in two stages, 8 miles general to downtown and 4 miles slow with a running buddy
S - 5.5 miles fast and hard, surprising since I'd started out as a slow run
S - 15 miles in 2:08.

I'm about 18 miles off of a pace that would see me reach my NEW goal of 2750 this year, I'm sitting at about 2422 now.

S: 11 miles @ steady pace
M: 5 miles easy
T: 7 miles @ steady pace w/ 10X100 meter pick ups
W: 9 miles
T: off
F: 9 miles
S: 5 easy

46 total

I must be dumber than a box of rocks - but...

SIGN ME UP FOR BOSTON 2007 - 2:44.

Just finished Philly yesterday (2:45:48) and my vow to never run another marathon lasted less than 24 hours.
