Marathon Training Week #7 felt much better than Week #6 but wanted to take it pretty easy with Hood to Coast happening next weekend! Next week (Week #8) was supposed to be a cut-back week but I ended up swapping that to this week (Week #7) instead because of my race commitments. All in all, I am happy with the week despite the extra rest.
MON: REST
TUES: 2 Miles
WED: 30 Minutes Elliptical and Core
THURS: 6 Miles
FRI: 8 Miles
SAT & SUN: Hanging out!
Most days also included yoga, foam rolling, and icing to make sure that I am ready to RUN next week!
Total Miles: 16Hopefully with Hood to Coast one weekend followed by the Dumbo Challenge the following weekend, I will still be on target with my training. The mileage will be there but the runs will not be “long” since I will run three legs at Hood to Coast and a 10k followed by a Half at Dumbo. We will see how it plays out but it will be sure to be a fun couple weekends!What is going on in your training these days!? Who else is running Hood to Coast or the Dumbo Challenge??

I've got 16 miles coming up this weekend. A bit nervous as it will be my longest run EVER. And thanks for turning me onto Team RWB!! I'm a veteran and learned about them from your blog! Thanks!! Good luck at Hood to Coast!
These long runs are intimidating! But, I have to keep reminding myself that I was also intimidated by 9, 10, 11 + mile runs when I starting running half marathons.
So excited that you were able to link up with Team RWB!! They are an amazing organization. Did you get your t-shirt yet? Every veteran gets to wear the eagle at no cost to them. And, thanks for your service!
I did get my shirt and love it!!
