I'm proud to report another successful week of marathon training. My 2nd week, I feel like was more successful than the first and I was less tired after each run. This week of training consisted of 3,3,3,7 for a total of 16 miles.
I had a pretty long stressful weekend with work, so my 7 mile run on Sunday was super easy. I got to run all my frustration and stress out. It was so nice. I even rewarded myself with a nice ice cold Coors Light afterwards :)
Normally, my long run is on Saturday, but I decided to run it on Sunday instead. I still got it in, which is the most important thing to start building distance. Only 19.2 more miles to go for a marathon...easy breezy, right?
Words of Wisdom: Even if you miss your long run day on Saturday/Sunday, make it up on Saturday/Sunday. Getting that distance in is what is crucial for building up your distance and stamina.
