This blog is about my running experience. I am not a physician, nutritionist or personal trainer. I am a runner. I do not know it all. I am only writing from my own experiences. I finished my first marathon on June 3, 2012. Who knows where my feet will take me next!

MT W16 Results

Week 12 of my marathon training was an off week and so was week 16!  Fortunately, week 13 was a really good week that included my 22 miler, so I'm hopeful that next week will be great.

Sunday:  Rest Day
Result:  Rested

Monday: 5 Miles Easy w/5 Strides (Pace 9:46)
Result:  5 miles in 1:13:18, 14:39 pace.  That is not running!

Tuesday:  5 Miles w/3 Miles @ Tempo
Result:  5.01 miles in 59:44, 11:55 pace
Another slow slog.

Wednesday:  Rest
Result:  I really needed this rest day.

Thursday: 5 Miles Easy (Pace 9:46)
Result:  5.01 miles in 56:30, 11:16 pace

Friday:  5 Miles Easy (Pace 9:46)
Result:  It was our 21st anniversary and I was so tired, I decided to take an extra rest day.

Saturday: 12 Miles LSD (Pace 9:46)
Result:  9.44 miles in 1:44:40, 11:05 pace
I started off feeling really great, had about a 9:50 pace going.  Hit mile 7 and started having stomach issues, had to walk the final 2 1/2 miles.  I should have learned my lesson last month!  We went to Bubba Gump's last night - I had Mahi Mahi and shrimp.  My body does not seem to digest fish very quickly.  I will eat my normal pizza next weekend before the marathon - it never fails me!

Total planned miles:  32
Total miles run:  24.46
