This was a great week of running! Not a great week for my foot pain and blisters…but that comes with the territory, I guess. I decided to rally with a fellow RTY2016 member to run, walk, crawl 10 miles for 10 days… I made it through the week, but didn’t get the miles on Saturday. Oh well, I made a great effort to help someone else try to meet their goals 🙂
Workout Recap
Marathon Training – Week 10
Sunday- rest walk day
I do not do well with rest days…so the little man and I went on a long, WINDY walk to Orange Leaf for some frozen yogurt! The hubs met us there and took us back home after 🙂
Monday- 8 miles – interval run + 3 miles east pace
I did the semi-crazy thing to volunteer to run-walk-crawl 10 miles for 10 days with a few other #2016in2016 members. Well, I just ended my interval run (10 minute warm up, 1k@10K pace-75 second rest x5, 10 minute run) a decent distance from home and just took an easy run home.
At lunch, I went for a relaxing 3 mile walk (with a leap for the day!).
Tuesday- 5.2 miles – easy paced run
I got up in plent of time to get my run in for the day. I spent the 70+ minutes talking with the Lord about my mom’s situation…
4.5 miles – “easy” paced run (but faster than usual…)
I was able to get away for a lucky run as well – just some time to clear my head.
Since I was a little short on my 10 miles for the day, I walked in place for 0.4 miles in the evening while the little man played outside 🙂
Wednesday- threshold run + easy miles
Threshold run (10-10-10) followed by 5 miles of easy paced running – no thoughts, just running…
Some runs are just a time to clear your mind. That is exactly what this run was for. I wrote a letter to my mom (in my head of course), I talked to my dad (in my head), and pleaded with the Lord for the strength and understanding to deal with difficult situations in my life…
Thursday- “rest” easy run
Neighborhood running at its finest!
Friday- 10 mile – easy run
I had that happy-dance moment when I checked my watch close to home…expected it to say 8.5 miles, but it said 9.5 miles!! Bonus!! Then 400 miles badge…double bonus!!
Saturday- 5.5 mile – easy run
An easy paced stroller run…cut short. Oh well.

It was a busy one for sure! I didn’t make quite all 10 days, but I had great effort in the first 1/2!

Thanks! I am now using the Forerunner 235 and I love it! It is a little less bulky from my 225 and has some great features 🙂
