RunningBlog: Week 19

This was a fairly intense week! Sunday I had the Mother’s Day Classic, where the Snook and I actually extended the distance to about 12K. Monday I went to an after-work session at Spudds. Tuesday I did a morning run of about 6K, and I froze my butt off! (Winter is coming.) Wednesday was another Spudds session, this time at lunch. Thursday was a much needed rest day! Then I did another 5K run today at lunchtime.

May 8: 11.8km
May 10: 6.01km
May 13: 5.14km
Total this week: 22.96km (14.4mi)
Total in 2011: 467.02km (291.9mi)

In order to meet my goal of running 1100km in 2011, I should be at 402km. Yep, still heaps of cushion.

Of course, that last five months of training have all led up to this Sunday. I will be running a full marathon as a training run. That’s 42.2km. That’s 26.2mi. Then I’ll have four weeks of taper before my actual race. This is it. I can do it.

And major shout-outs to the Slow Runners Club Coaching Team. The encouragement has been flowing on our Facebook page!


Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
