it's a big week
You know you are in the midst of marathon training when you refer to days as running or recovering. This week is a big week in mileage ... kinda exciting ... kinda scary.
Monday rest day
Tuesday 4 x 1 mile repeats on the track
Wednesday 3 miles easy
Thursday 8 miles tempo
Friday rest day
Saturday 4 miles easy
Sunday 18 miles
That's a total of 37 miles/ 59 km
definitely a little scary!
Today, everything is wonderful. Today is me day. A whole day dedicated to all things I want to do. I have the day off work. I got up early for a 7am run with P and D. I love junk mile runs. These were my favourite runs last year before Chicago, 3 easy miles to loosen out my legs after Tuesdays speedwork and before Thursdays tempo. The run was followed by coffee then home to shower and a little bit of shopping. Back home, for blog time, then off for a massage, a much needed massage. I get off the massage table, get dressed and head down the road for a facial.
Oh yeah. Pamper pamper pamper. I figure by then I will be so relaxed I could sleep on the sidewalk. I'll resist the temptation and hopefully make it home for a quality night of nothingness.
Nothingness - mindless hours of lying on sofa, while eating bon bons alternating between reading book and watching tv.
