Marathon Training: Week 7
Another week of marathon training is in the books. It is hard to believe that in less than 11 weeks I am going to be toeing the line, once again, at a marathon. Still in my home state, and this time completely in my home state (the Flying Pig had several miles in Kentucky). I am getting very excited already. I am nervous too, because I am not sure that I am going to hit the sub-4 goal that I want, but I know that I am going to do great and feel great, right?
Here is the week of workouts:
This is my highest mileage week since the last week in May (when J and I were in Chicago and I did 10 on Friday with 4 on Sunday with my uncle) and the second highest week since the Flying Pig marathon. I truely did not feel like I overdid anything this week, although my legs are tired now!
This weekend we have a 12-13 mile long run. I will (AGAIN) be running it in Toledo. Wildwood, here I come! I am very seriously considering stopping at a gas station on my way home for a bag of ice and trying out the whole ice bath thing. It really makes me nervous, but at the same time, I know that it will be a good idea and will help my legs to recover much faster!
Have a great week of training, everyone!

Good luck with increasing mileage again - you'll be great! I'm still jealous you are running Columbus, just not a good time for my next full.
