Running (Week 16) March 2-8th

"Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win."

- Tom Fleming's Boston Marathon training sign on his wall

This week has been a long one. We walked away from the condo (extremely disappointing- a long story, one where they have an assesment coming and we are not wealthy!), we trained, and then we trained some more! My running is finally coming along....the long runs don't seem so hard and the short runs are faster than they were when I started. The above picture is of the course of the Long Beach Full and Half Marathon from 2007. My friend Lorrie and I ran the half marathon. I figured I could use a little inspiration, and it was really a fun race! Ann has been training just as hard as I have, and I am in the process of buying my plane ticket to Seattle. I LOVE coming home. I am actually taking some time off work and heading home on Wednesday after work and staying through Sunday! It will be soooo nice to be home! Take a look at week 16:

Monday: 0 miles

Tuesday: 5 miles (not hard anymore, actually....starting to seem short!)

Wednesday: 3 miles

Thursday: 30 swim

Friday: 7 miles (still not that bad!)

Saturday: 3 miles

Sunday: 30 min swim, 6 miles

Weekly Total: 24 miles, 60 min swim

Total Training Miles: 230 miles, 225 min of swim, 120 min of cycle

Congratulations Logan on one year of remission!!!!
