I hate running on the treadmill so I hope the weather cooperates. I don’t mind the cold…it’s the snow/sleet/freezing rain/rain that I hate.
Though I am starting week 7, I really haven’t been looking at the plan…

and when I do, I realize that I am running less than I should (except for my vacation week) but then again, I would rather run less than be injured and not run at all…
Week Totals: Long Runs:
1 – 11 5
2- 6 3
3- 14 6
4 – 14 75 6
5 – 26.5 8
6 – 17.25 6.5
So for week 7, I added an extra day of running. My next race is March 17…gulp!
Happy Running! Do you strictly follow a running plan?




2 races in one weekend! And unusual distances…7k…you are right about the being careful not to get injured or worst…I did that and I was able to continue running BUT yesterday I found out the hard way that if I (that is for ME not saying for you :)) don’t put the mileage in….on the Long run I mean…well you’ll see my race recap..but I can tell you it is nothing good…I hope for you it will not affect your race too much…I would go up to 10 before the race though for sure. Have a good week!

I meant total miles for the week… I hope to do 9, 10, 11, 12 in the long runs at least.

2 races in a row in 2 days: a very good job to improve the speed.
I understand your feeling with the treadmill; I hate that torture instruments. Better a run under the rain as you did.
My running plans are in the past…..
