End of the week review

Finally, a full, solid week of training and I lived to tell about it! After weeks of sluggishness and funk, it felt amazing to get in some good training runs and end it with today's "long" run. Last week's total mileage was 20, while this week's was 31 miles plus two days of lifting, a little on the "overdoing it" side, but it all felt so good.....finally. Monday: 6 mile run on the hilly trail Tuesday: 3 miles of hills plus Active Edge Wednesday: Oh my LORD!! 2 mile warm up, 10 x 400's (jogging inbetween each one) at ridiculous paces for me (1:33-1:48) plus a 3/4 mi cool down. Thanks to Kara and Jennifer, this training day was the worst and greatest of my week! I struggled to keep up with these ladies (wasn't actually able to keep up with them) but the extra push really helped me see where I'm at and where I'd like my training to go from here. I nearly lost my breakfast on that last 400, but I sucked it down and all ended well. Thursday (Active Edge session) and Saturday were "off" running days friday: 6 miles again on a hilly course Sunday: 9 mile long run. One of these days I will sit down and make a training plan, but since I don't have any marathons on the calendar yet this fall, I'm in no big hurry.
