Training Weeks 6-7
Hello! Well, it's been a very hectic few weeks, and I have to admit that my training has suffered quite a bit due to life happening all around me. Last weekend, I took a trip home for my grandparent's 50th anniversary. Here's a picture of our beautiful family:
We've had some unseasonably warm and beautiful weather in State College. Luckily for me, my boyfriend is a wonderful photographer, and took me to a gorgeous wooded area and got some pictures. Here's one of my favorites:
I squeezed in some workouts and runs as much as I could. I did have a terrific run this weekend and did my longest training run yet: 9 miles. Even better news for me was the fact that my 9th and final mile was my fastest! (my Nike watch gives mile times for each mile run, then tells you your fastest and slowest miles). Here's a look at the runs I completed the past two weeks and used my watch:
I'm now over 150 miles on my watch! I can't believe how far I'm coming along and can't wait to put in more hard work to keep reaching for my goal of a marathon! Here's a look at the upcoming week:
No excuses for this week, and my goal is to not skip ANY training runs for the entire month of November. Can I do it? We'll have to see!
For now, here's a quote that I'm loving:
The difference between try and triumph is just a little umph!
Thanks for reading and see you next week :)
