We got 12 miles done this morning. It's a hot one (although breezy), so I'm glad we got an early start (7 a.m.). I felt great throughout the run and after--no aches and pains and lots of energy. I felt like I had another 5-6 miles in me today. Maybe this marathon thing really is do-able.
As for this week, I've got some 6 and 7 mile runs--and then next weekend Jessica and I will do 9 on either Saturday or Sunday to taper for the half-marathon the weekend after.
On rest days, I need to find a way to cross-train. I don't want to bike because biking is scary for me. I am clumsy on the bike and fall a lot. I am honestly afraid of hurting myself. I could do the spin bike inside but that's boring. I could swim but it's a hassle to find a pool open when I want to swim. I may buy a pool pass for a pool close to our house. The only issue is that lap swim is only from 12:15 to 1 on weekdays. I can't always make that time, but sometimes I can. I really would like to find a way to get outside on non-running days this summer!
Have a great week!
