This week so far: 27 miles
The week ended well considering how crappy I felt in the beginning of it! Monster long trail run sunday was key. We covered a very wet trail route 15 minutes faster than the last time we did it. It felt really good. Today I'm not "sore" but feel like I worked hard. Very satisfying - i needed that.
Looks like baseball is going to prevent me from running Greylock this weekend. I have decided to forgo the marathon at this point and concentrate on getting faster and enjoying the shorter distances for awhile. There are too many half marathons and other shorter trail races that I want to do this fall. I feel like I wouldn't be focused enough to approach a marathon training scheme and might not recover fast enough to run any races afterward well. Maybe next year a really late fall marathon will be in the works. In the meantime maybe I can get my half marathon down closer to 1:40....its a process...and i love it...
