Week 12: The end of spring training

Yesterday was officially the end of the 12-week "Spring Training" portion of our marathon prep. From week 1, our weekday runs have increased from 1.5 miles to 3 miles, and our long runs from 3 miles to 6 miles. Supposedly we are now ready to begin the down and dirty 18-week "Marathon Training" program that will take us all the way to the MCM on October 28th. I sure hope so!

In other good news, we have now raised $625 for Fisher House (of the $1000 we need before 9/21/12). We would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to the family, friends, and online community (Ravelry rocks!) who have donated to our cause. We think of you all every time we hit the road for a run, because we don't want to let you down.

Oh, and my back feels much better this week. :-)  It was very hot here though, so we were up at 630am getting our runs in, and I am not a morning person...it was a challenge but good to mix things up for a change.

Weekly stats:

Tue 6/19  2.82 miles in 29:53  (we got caught in the rain and cut things short this morning)

Wed  6/20  3.32 miles in 32:07  (made up for the shorter run yesterday)

Thu  6/21  3.05 miles in 31:32

Sat  6/23  6.11 miles in 1:04:21  (pretty run along the beach in CT)

Total:  15.30 miles

Thanks for reading!
