I skipped blogging for my last two weeks of workouts so I wanted to put them here to remember them!
The only thing I will say now that I'm a few days out from my half is that I overdid it on the weekend prior to my marathon. I thought it would be a good way of getting miles in but it ended up being more emotionally and mentally draining than anything. It's a good reminder as I'm contemplating running a 5k this weekend but I know that the 10k/5k double I have planned next Saturday should take precedence! I didn't feel it in my legs but getting up early both Sat and Sun (the only days I have to sleep in) and draining myself mentally by racing both of those definitely did not help me when it came to my A race.
Anyway here were my workouts for the 2 weeks leading up to Pittsburgh:
