13 miles total today. Early this morning I went 12 easy with the exception of one mile at about MP and total time for the run was 1:28. Felt fine, not outstanding but no complaints with a week to go until marathon day. Later in the morning I ran about a mile while helping at a local 5K race -- ran from the start/finish area to the spot were I served as a course monitor. I'm definitely glad I decided against racing although I was a bit sad to not be taking part. But helping out was good so it's fine.
I don't think I'll take any complete rest days between now and next Saturday because I always feel out of sorts when I don't run. But I want to be very well rested for this marathon, something I haven't really accomplished previously, so I'll just run 30-45 minutes a day and try to get a little more sleep than usual, stretch well, eat well, all the important stuff. |
