Seems pretty well. There are indeed hindrances to our plans but the most important is that we learn to be flexible through it all. Good luck!

Pretty much the same every week!

Monday- Walked 6.25 miles

Tuesday- Walk 5 miles, weight training 30-45 minutes

Wednesday- Walked 7.5 miles (too wet to ride)

Thursday- Walked 7 miles, home workout (going to be giving up the gym and doing it at home starting in 2/19, so I'm starting do a day a week at home)

Friday- Walked 5.43 miles

Saturday- Walked 6.34 miles, lite workout at home

Sunday- Walked 4.4 miles, strength training for 20 minutes

My mom had a stroke this past week and I've been out of sorts fixing and getting everything together for her. Hopefully it will calm down this week and I'll feel better if I can workout a little.

Will update with actual workout completed!

Hello Everyone. So I just completed my longest run ever Sunday, 20 miles. Those last three miles were tough. It makes me nervous about the race.

Monday-Much needed recovery/rest day

Tuesday-Run 10 miles (terrible run today, legs were extra heavy, felt bad all run, now have some sort of stomach bug)

Wednesday-Going to take tomm off

Thursday-taking this day off too

Friday-Swim 1 miles

Saturday-Planned rest day

Sunday-Run 13 miles- (Stopped my Garmin at 6 miles...waiting on others..Finished at 1:55:36 with a 9:38 pace)

How will Halloween affect everyone's schedule this week? I am very weak when it comes to candy. ugghhh

Topic: RE: Weight training?

Im actually just recently just below 200 (like 198 just below). I only run 3 days a week. My routine now is 10 on Tues and Thurs and long runs on Sunday. I turn 50 the day after my first marathon in December. On Wed and Friday I swim. lol. Keeping weight on is NEVER an issue for me. What I noticed is I have lost inches faster than I have lost weight, obviously with muscle weighing more than fat. Thats a plus. I eat so much brown rice everyday and have started taking salt tabs to try and retain water for long runs. Thats not a plus but helpful.

I run with guys in their 60s and 70s. Never think its too late. I had RNY in 2015 and I couldn't run 500 yards without stopping. I just kept plugging away. I still have to keep losing though. Im no where near where I ultimately want to be. Message me if you want and we can discuss more. Im by far no expert but I am with a very knowledgeable group.

I've yet to meet any runners who think running is purely physical. That seems to be a thing that only non-runners think!
