New Update:

New running schedule for next week.  Thought I'd better write it down so I don't forget and this will hopefully commit me to it a bit. 

Mondays- Run (5 -ish),

Tuesdays- Weight Class at the gym (I've missed this the last few weeks and feel I need it to support my running muscles, plus I feel flabby!) (2 miles on treadmill before class)

Wednesdays- Run again (5-8),

Thursdays- Run with the St. George Running Club chics (I think they usually go 5-ish)

Friday- Run or Spin (Some days we'll have to do our long runs on this day)

Saturday- Long Run (If I ran long on Fri, then I'll do an easy 3-5 this day)

My goal is to maintain at least 30 miles a week until marathon

I got all excited that I thought I'd run a 5 mile course in 46 min. until I clocked it and realized it was only 4.7 mi.  Oh well, about 9:47 pace I think....

Pretty good run this am.  Thankfully had Buff to meet this morning to get me through the run.  I'm still really stiff, only felt good for the last mile of this run.  It was a hilly bear of a run too, ran 'Foremaster' in the opposite direction than I'm used to.  Nice downhill for first 2, then  tough uphill for .75, then steep down for .5, then gradual uphill for the rest. I think some Ibuprofen & Ice are in order. (I'm totally guessing on the break up of these hills, some of you locals may laugh if my estimates are way off)

This Sat. I'm running Peach Days 12K, so I'm trying to decide what my running schedule will be for next couple days.  I think I'll do at least 3 if not 5 tomorrow, then maybe just walk Fri, then race Sat. Don't want to over do it at the race because next week I need to build back up on my marathon training plan.  I'm not feeling too good about this race because of how sore I've been this week.  Maybe the ice & Ibuprofen will help.

So happy I got my run in this morning though, its giving me the energy I need to go grocery shopping, get kids off to school, work, etc, etc.... So thankful for running partners!

Thanks for the idea on the step. Back when I used to go to our gym we did some of that too, I don't go anymore but I had forgotten, I'll start tonight, it will act as a stretch too! Nice outline for the upcoming week....s your gonna be in great shape for the marathon! Well I guess I'm gonna take my daughter to the track. She wants her own blog. I think getting her out to run is going to take a lot of commitment on my part and I don't know if I have the energy for both of us. Don't think I'll run tonight feeling pretty wornnn oouuuttt !
