And I’m rested and ready to pick back up on my training. I rested this weekend and enjoyed relaxing with my husband.
I have a fun half marathon coming up on Halloween and need to get back into a regular routine. I also need to start getting used to trail running again. My plan for the week is a little bit of everything…
- Monday – PM run (5 miles) and then lift
- Tuesday – AM run (4 miles), PM swim and lift
- Wednesday – AM run (5 miles), PM swim and lift
- Thursday – AM run (4 miles), PM swim and lift
- Friday – REST
- Saturday – swim and lift
- Sunday – Medium length trail run (9 or 10 miles), leisurely afternoon swim
I can always skip the swimming if I feel like I’m doing too much. I play it by ear. But I really love being in the pool. So I try to go as long as I feel up to it.
I have to say, I had a little bit of marathon envy today. I regularly post on a health and fitness forum and many members were running marathons today (10-10-10 is a popular race date, just like weddings). I spent the day enjoying the beautiful weather, resting, and cleaning – but a part of me was wishing I was out there doing another 26.2. I had to keep reminding myself that I’ll have another one soon enough!
It really is addicting though. I know there’s a winter one around here somewhere, but I’m not sure when that is. I’ll find it though!
I hope you had a fantastic weekend!

if you are running a half on halloween, a 15K on Nov 7th is kinda pushing it, right? Me, Jen, and Katie are running the Stockadeathon and I would love to have you join us!!! (it’s the first race over 4miles for me – EEEEK!)

I was actually thinking about joining you for that! Depends on what the entry fee is really…

Yes! Stockade-athon! woohoo!!! I’m already registered for my second half–may 15,2011 in Pittsburgh! heh. I can’t wait to run the squirrely six, although I’ve only ran on a real trail once…do you think I should do another practice trail run just to be safe?

Shoot! I just went to add it to my calendar and realized I’ll be out of town at a wedding that’s going on the night before. Bummer! We definitely have to find a race to do together. I’ll look for you on halloween!
