Half Marathon Training Update

Race Day: 10 weeks from now.  April 2nd 2006.

This week I should have done three runs but I only managed two.  I figure that it’s not too big a deal yet since the longest run was supposed to be 4 miles according to the training schedule but I did a long run of 6.6 miles last Wednesday morning and one that was slightly more then 4 on Saturday.  I figure I went a total of just less then 11 miles this week.  Both of the runs were pretty fast too.  On the 6.6 mile loop I was running just under 7:40 per mile and on the Saturday run I figure I was around 7:50 to 7:55.

On my two non-running days last week I got in the pool and managed to get some good swimming in.  This week I won’t be able to slack off on the running since I really need to get in three runs this week.

I’ve started this week off strong and swam 4600 yards this morning.  Feeling good, if not a little tired at the moment.
