Just a quick update to mark the day I reached the half way point in my 16 week training plan for the LaCrosse Marathon on May 3rd.
This week I ran 19.0 miles in 3h 19m 26s and biked 8.0 miles in 29m 33s. I also broke 100 running miles for the year this week! I was able to run outside on Friday for my 7 mile tempo run, and it went much better than I expected. I was still pretty sore today, and had to do my 9 mile long run on the treadmill at the Y because it was snowing outside on top of ice from rain earlier in the day. That run went better than expected as well, and I'm running these distances faster than I ever have with minimal walking.
This weeks plan calls for 17 miles of running, but I'll be adding an easy 3 miler tomorrow to bring it up to 20.
