Well, it's been slow going since Wednesday, but--despite having to deal with the likes of Heinrich Müller and other postmodern playwrights-- I did get my goal of 40 kilometers in this week. But wowser, I'm so, so slow. Maybe I'm just tired out from a semester of schoolwork and a lot of work at actual work, however my legs actually hurt during my 10 k on Saturday evening. My legs never hurt that much while I'm running! I could feel my knees pounding every time my foot hit the ground. Perhaps this is just a phase--let's hope so because I have a race next week and then a bike trip (with super hardcore bikers) the following weekend. For now, I just want to keep up my goal of 40 kilometers a week (24.85 miles) and maybe (I don’t even want to say it) PR on Saturday!
By mid-June I'll start a new half marathon training program. If you have any suggestions for a good intermediate training program, please share! I want to run this next one in under 2:10.
Since I finished my last German literature paper on Sunday, I treated myself to a day of beauty today:

Hey Scarlett, thanks for reading my blog!
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough, I went shopping today and looked at clothes and shoes... and still walked out with only a new running skirt and running shirt!
I like shorts that don't ride up my bum. I'm easy to please. :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't run a half marathon in so long, I'm not sure which training plan to recommend. You can always go with one of the standards like Hal Higdon or a customized one using SmartCoach on the Runner's World website.
Good luck!
