weekly work out 10/1/18

Well I am still off of work this coming week. This race has become a very expensive race for me but to be honest I was starting to burn out at my job and I have not a week off in over 6 years so i am not feeling guilty. For the first time I am looking after myself and allowing the body to heal. I now have permission from the doctor to get in the pool and try and do some physio on myself

Tue walk

wed pool

thursday walk

Friday pool

saturday rest lol that is what i am doing most days

Sunday depending how i feel and the body is moving hoping to try for a very light 20 minute run just to see how my handles it. I have to wait and see what the pain level is.

Going camping this weekend to get some time on the forest trails. Should be fun.

Wednesday-6 mile run

Thursday-8 mile run

Doc whats you goal time for a marathon?

For the marathon coming up? Under 6 hours would be fine with me. It's a trail marathon with just over 3,000 ft of climbing. If I was really racing it hard, I might want to be closer to 5 hours, but I really don't like running all that fast.

In trail races, my time is always slower than "road time" but mostly because I trip alot...6 hours is a really good time.

Oh yeah. Trails are way slower. My road marathon time is probably closer to 3:50 right now, but I'm pretty slow going up hill so anything with climbs slows me down. Luckily, I don't care to run fast so I would rather run a 6 hour marathon any day.

My goal in December is 4:45 or so. Its my first one so Im not trying to pu**** but my training runs I have been averaging around 10:30-10:45 or so..which if I could average that for 26.2 I am perfectly happy with.

Whats up Exercise Junkies....Weather was fantastic to run in this week except the rain days of course. It was 58 degrees yesterday, which is so much better than it has been. Cant wait for some upper 40s.
