Training Week of 4/11-17

Mon: Off (Phillies opening day!/Travel)

Tues: 5 miles (47:07) and 20 min lower body lift

Wed: 25 min upper body lift

Thurs: 2 am miles, 4.25 pm miles SOLID TRAINING DAY!

Fri: Off (never needed to run more--no alone time in 2 weeks and we had friends coming for the weekend when I got home from work but work calls! I need to become a morning runner so I can "run the day before the day runs me!")

Sat: 3.1 am miles (solid) then we went for an awesome hike with 1200+ ft elevation! 3.2 miles but it took us over an hour. I could drop a lot of weight doing that hike every day ;)

Sun: Off. It's so unlike me to take 3 days off a week but after our friends left I just had no energy--physically or emotionally. I spent the day relaxing with hubby and doing meal prep for my week. My reasoning is that 7 solid days of eating well in this case is better than a single workout. Pittsburgh marathon is coming up quickly so we will see how that goes! I am vowing to myself to never do another marathon or half without a proper training cycle. I owe it to myself to get myself together and work for what I want or else I will never improve! I know I can run sub 1:50 but I just need to put in the miles/work.

Overall a decent week--14 miles of running, 2 lifting sessions, and 3 miles of hiking/cross-training.
