Marathon Training - 8 Weeks to Go

Week of August 15 - 21 (21 miles)

I set out to run 37 miles this week, but my body revolted. I was sored after the Monday run. My body needed a break. Even a new pair of running shoes (Mizuno Wave Creation 6) couldn't tempt me back to my intended schedule.

Monday (evening): Approximately 10 miles. My building to 25th & Locust to 1/2 mile past Lloyd Hall (Kelly Drive) , around Rittenhouse Square, around Washington Square, Penn's Landing and back.

Thursday: Approximately 3 miles. To Penn's Locust Walk and back.

Saturday: Approximately 8 miles. To Lloyd Hall (Kelly Drive). Ran 5 miles with the Frontrunners. Walk/run back after brunch.
