Happy Sunday everyone! I am on Team TCS Teachers and training to run the Chicago Marathon on October 13. This will be my 9th marathon and my 6th Chicago Marathon.
Here is how my week went:
Week #2, July 1-7
Monday: Ran 2.44 and walked .36 miles. The weather was much better for running. It was a 30 minute easy run. Total was 2.44 @12:19 average pace.
Tuesday: Walked 1.72 miles and 25 minutes on the Peloton. A nice walk to clear my head. I took an ABBA class and enjoyed it a lot. Check out that playlist!
Wednesday: Ran 1.98 and walked 1.18 miles. A good run with hill strides.
Thursday: Ran 4.07 and walked .73 miles. I ran my 2nd race this year. Pleased with how I did and felt good about doing this race.
Friday: Walked 1.71 miles and 25 minutes on the Peloton.
Saturday: Ran 7 and walked .27 miles. I did better last last week. I ran the first 2 miles nonstop (12:34 and 12:29). However, by the last 2 miles I was hurting. My feet were bothering me and my body was beginning to hurt. It’s been more than a year since I’ve run 7 miles. I spent most of the day resting with my cats.
Sunday: Walked 1.69 miles and 25 minutes on the Peloton. I was still a bit sore from Saturday’s run but these two activities helped me feel better.
TOTAL:
Running: 15.49
Walking: 7.67
Cycling: 16.10
Here’s how training has gone so far:
