Training Report # 3

and counting....... it is not my age!!! it is my last week millage!! I think this is the highest millage I have ever done. For most of my runner friends it might not be a lot but it is for me and I am very happy about it. Also I am happy because of the quality of the runs. I felt strong in all of them and I have started to do some speed work again. From now on my millage will keep increasing and the next few weeks are going to be tough since I need to do 20+ miles runs every weekend plus the week runs including a long run during the week too! Soon I will be doing 2 long runs of 26 miles each one...that is a Marathon!! I can't believe I will just run a marathon as a training run!

I haven't been that good with cross training though :(. I am making the same mistakes I did when I got injured...running, running, running and ZERO cross training!! I was good for a couple of week but last week I was so busy the days I was not running that I didn't do anything else....I NEED TO DO IT!! It is just so difficult to balance work, running, friends, personal life and also cross training!!! I need more hours!!!

Good luck with your training! Good to see you out there today. Definitely try to squeeze in some cross training to give your body a much needed rest and to build your strength. Your legs and core will need it when you are running 50 miles.
