12 miles with Shelbey! Ry ran the first 4 with us but has been getting over a cold so called it good at that point. A little drizzle but nothing heavy. Temps actually felt pretty dang good! Bloomington Trail then Summit loop. LOVE running with Shelbey! She signed up for her first marathon on May 7th! I really think she could BQ on her first full! Crazy how easy running comes to her. She was a collegiate soccer player so totally makes sense! She is freaking amazing. Everything felt nice and easy. Ran our first half really easy with an average pace of 8:50 (just grabbed the whole time felt really good). Ran the second half faster at an 8:17 pace, but still felt really comfortable. Conversation never waned and we threw in a couple of marathon paced miles still gabbing away! NICE! Got home, hopped on the TM for one more mile because I wanted 13 today. Need to hit 39+ miles this week. Wanted 35 last week and barely hit it. I have run marathons on as little as peaking at 36 miles per week, and as high as an 83 miles per week peak. I think this time around I will shoot towards something in the middle, 60 miles per week peak sounds pretty okay to me. We will see! :-) Burpees 3 x 15 Skier crunches 3 x 15 Happy new week, All! :-) |
