One Final Training Run…
It’s always an emotional experience to get in that last training run. Typically I do a 3-miler the day before a marathon at race pace, but I wanted to give my Achilles some time to rest and heal before the marathon on Monday so I did my final run this morning. I went an easy 4 miles and experienced only slight pain.
Here are my totals for the 20-week program (although I will still do another workout on my exercise bike tomorrow a.m.):
Running: 686 miles (633 in weeks 1-14, 53 in weeks 15-20)
Cycling: 1,107 miles (all done on exercise bike in my basement)
Elliptical Machine: 56 miles
Pool Jogging: 3 hours, 55 minutes
Walking: 12 miles
Weight Lifting: 5 hours (estimate based on 15 minutes per week for 20 weeks)
As you can see, it’s been a busy 20 weeks!! Hopefully all that hard work will pay off on Monday.
