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!

Another Week, Another 50


I had another good week and crossed over the 50 mile mark once again.   I feel like I'm starting to get in marathon training mindset, which is a good thing since real training starts two weeks from tomorrow!

Sunday - Rode 8.8 miles in 51:15, 10.3 mph
This was suppose to be an active recovery ride, but I didn't feel much recovery going on!  It hurt :)


Monday - Rest day

Tuesday - Ran 6.2 miles in 1:00:08, 9:42 pace.
So close to breaking that one hour 10k!  Also walked 1.08 miles - warm-up and cool-down.
I also cleaned the ceiling fans in our house - our bedroom has a vaulted ceiling, so I spent a lot of time on my toes.  Calve raises for the win!

Wednesday - Rest Day


Thursday - Rode 13.71 miles in 1:34:14, 8.7 mph
Trail ride.  I rode further up than I have in a long time.  Still not to my first goal of Sunshine Mountain, about halfway, but getting there.  I really should have gone for it - temps were a perfect 57 when I headed out!  All the pictures in this post are from that ride.


Friday - Ran 7.03 miles in 1:23:05, 11:50 pace.
Back to back days on the trail.  If I don't do a trail run each week I really miss it! 

Saturday - Rode 13.81 miles in 1:14:24, 11.1 mph
This is a new to me road route.  It starts off nice and flat, then has some uphill, some fast downhill, then a mix of rollers.  I spent a lot of time concentrating on high cadence.  This is the first week in a long time that I rode more times than I ran.
