The rest of Week #11
The rest of the week went well. I rested for two days. Which ended up being good because I didn’t realize how tired and sore my body really was. Here is the rest of my week!
Thursday:
5 mile run. Fairly easy. No real problems today.
Friday:
Day off. Very busy.
Saturday:
Day off. Really felt the pain in my calves snd shins today. Made me feel less guilty for taking the day off.
Sunday:
Ran seven miles. Was a really good run. I was worried I would have some problems for taking those days off, but I think that it actually helped me more than hurt me!
Well, there you have it! Hope everyone is doing great with their training!

Hi,
From now until the race, don’t feel guilty for taking days off when you need them. There are only a few key sharpening workouts left. Those workouts are designed to get your legs feeling recovered, fast and fresh for the race and are not designed to get you in any better shape. All the grunt and groan work is done now. Take care of those legs and make sure you are getting plenty of sleep.
