Training Week 10

This is where training is really hard core!  If I was actually training for a marathon, I'd be both excited and dreading this week.  I won't be doing the Yasso 800s, but here's the explanation:

The Yasso 800s (named, of course, for Runner's World's Bart Yasso) are part of a simple speed workout that involves running 800-meter repeats (two laps around the track) with 400 meters of recovery in between. You aim to run the repeats in a time that's "equal" to your marathon time. That is, if you're shooting for a 3:30 marathon, try to run each 800-meter repeat in three minutes and 30 seconds.

Hopefully we'll do our bike ride on the coast one day this week, so I plan to be very flexible!
