Week #10
Yes, it is week #10! Made some changes this week. I am not going to be doing so many classes until the marathon is over. I need to concentrate on running. I ran the Grandma’s course for my long run this week! It was great. It really calmed my nerves. I plan on running more of my long runs on the course until the big day. I also have started to change my diet a little. Eating more frequently and eating a lot more. Or atleast trying to. Well, here is my week #10!
Monday:
Ran 2 miles. Not feeling the greatest. Still in St. paul. Ran on Summit Avenue. Noticing pain in my lateral muscles and in my quads especially. Am thinking that is from running different terrain…
Tuesday:
Ran four miles. Felt much better today. Pain for the most part has subsided.
Wednesday:
Did my classes today. Toning for an hour and fifteen minutes followed by kickboxing for an hour and fifteen minutes. Decided today that I need to take break from my beloved classes to concentrate on running. They really exhaust me and I feel I need to concentrate on running right now.
Thursday:
Day Off.
Friday:
What a crappy day to run! Really windy, dusty, etc. Ran four miles and went home!!! A little out of breath today. I don’t think my body could relax and regulate with all of the wind and dust.
Saturday:
Long run! Ran nine miles on Grandma’s Marathon course. Ended with Lemon Drop hill. (Wasn’t so bad…) Had a great run. Took my body a while to regulate, but I think it was because I was so nervous. Boy, I’m glad I got that out of the way!
Sunday:
Day off! Not too sore today surprisingly. A little sunburned, but not too bad! That is encouraging. I was expecting much worse!
Well, there is my week ten. I hope everyone is doing well with their training and getting as pumped up about the marathon as I am!
