[X] Week 6

In summary, week 6 was filled with pain, nausea, and a tad more pain. Do I sound like I'm complaining about our 4 mths to a 4 hour marathon training program? I'm just relaying the messages that my muscles are sending my brain.

Moving our long run to Sunday from week 5 wasn't the smartest idea but we had to do it. This of course had us moving a short run off the schedule for a rest day. We sure needed that rest! When it was all said and done this week, I got 2 days of cross training in, sprints, and the long run...so minus the 30 & 40 minute runs (2). I'm okay with this since since sprints nearly had me feet up in the air on the side of the road and it was only a 6 x 400m week!

Oh well. Today's 8 miler went well. Nothing but sunshine and nature as we ran the most creative route through Carney Park. Mile 6ish made me regret throwing the first pair of socks I found on my feet, even when I knew they weren't running socks. Let's just say that as soon as my watched beeped for mile 8 that shoe was off my foot so fast I don't even think Lori knew what had happened.

Week 7 is going to be even more interesting as illnesses ware on, knees and hips are reminded just how holiday pounds impact the force exerted on them, and travel plans start mucking up the training schedule. 15 miles is the long run we've got in store for our holiday weekend...or you know Thursday after work.

Yep.

Now you all think we're insane...don't you? It's true, we are but with all these endorphins racing throughout or bodies and the promise of Paris in spring we're powering full speed ahead...or you know on Saturdays at our 10:40 max pace!
