Press on to Marathon

Today is the last day of the first month. I ended up taking off a week to rest that foot I was having problems with . I’m glad I did but it does feel like I got a weak finish to the first month. Still just the first month. Time to post the next month schedule!

Did not end up doing the tempo day due to having to triage my hubby’s car getting broken into. Behind a bit now, not sure if I want to push a tempo day right before a 5 mile push…

Doing first tempo run today since I generally prefer to rest on my ten hour shift days. Going to take it a bit easier because I can feel some dorsal foot pain which is probably some minor extensor tendonitis. Might need to dosome calf work, ice bath and relacing shoes to take the pressure off.

Managed to keep to a 14 minute mile for 4.5 miles but maaaan I got soaked with the rain. Will have to dry everything out later.

Feeling pretty sore today. Need to remember that rest days are important too. Going to the hot tub after work today I think.

Tomorrow is my 10-hour work day so I’m going to do my 30 minute easy walk this morning instead of tomorrow and take two rest days. Hopefully won’t feel out of it for the first 4 mile on Saturday.

Re-created the project after the purge. I’m on task so far for week 2. Trying to keep to the training schedule but not have it count for my workout schedule, so doing Zumba/Pilates AND my training. I think that will only last until we start hitting ten milers. After that, it’ll be too much to double up. Today is an easy 35 minutes walk, then an hour of Zumba!
