Marathon Monday and Guess How Far/How Fast




Last week I ran half  #4 of 13 in 2013 (more about that later this week) and cut way back on training, this was the first week I was okay with not running, I even allowed myself walking and just soaked in the world around. Here’s my past training week.

Monday: 11.1 mile run and planks
Tuesday: Morning spin/weights with trainer & Easy evening Run 4.5 miles
Wednesday: 5.5 mile run and planks
Thursday: Morning 2 mile walk and afternoon 7 mile Trail Run/Walk, skipped weights due to a weird back thing
Friday:  Spin and Core/planks
Saturday: 5.5 Mile run with group
Sunday: Half Marathon #4 of 2013 (I met 2 of my goals J )

This week will be another easy training week, really trying to be smart in preparation since I am feeling good about this race. Nothing big planned:
Monday: Walk and core/weights, thinking about a swim
Tuesday: Morning spin and Easy evening Run
Wednesday: Easy morning run and planks
Thursday: Morning spin and walk
Friday:  Easy spin and core/planks
Saturday: Easy run with group
Sunday: Marathon #22 (Guess my time below!)




How fast do you think I will run? How many miles do you think Jill will run?

HELPFUL HINTS:
I am running Swan Lake Marathon, my 22nd marathon.

  5. Awesome! I'm working on getting back into running and being more consistent with my runs. I've been slacking a lot lately and I want to get back into it... but of course, this week I'm battling a chest/sinus infection. But I still ran! I did 4 slow miles this morning and it felt like I was breathing through a straw, but it's done!
