Weekly Summary

My first real week of marathon training is over.  Officially it is week 3, but the first 2 weeks got messed up by work and the Kaiser half marathon.  No excuses this week!

Here's the plan, and how it turned out...

• Day - Plan - Actual 
  
• Mon - rest - rest
  
• Tue - 5m easy - 5m, started easy, but ended up way too fast at 6:06 pace - 7:30 overall - i'm blaming the guy i ran with
  
• Wed - 12 miles easy - 9 miles easy - didn't feel like doing the full 12
  
• Thu - 7m easy w some strides - skipped due to work, plan to double friday
  
• Fri - 6m tempo, 9 overall - AM 6m at 6:46 8.25m overall - PM 7.5m easy (7:45ish)
  
• Sat - 8 miles easy - 8.5m easy
  
• Sun - long run, 17 miles - 16.5 hilly miles w 3 at marathon pace (6:54 )
  
• Total - 58 miles - 54.3 miles 
  

So a solid week, and the tempo on Friday was pretty good, holding 6:46 with level heartrate for 6 miles.  Next week will be about the same mileage, but on just 5 runs.  I'm resting Monday, and will be flying to Hawaii on the Sunday.
