16 weeks to Boston
This past week was pretty challenging, but I’m rather proud of myself, in that I only managed to miss about three of my 26 miles of running. Plus, everything is feeling pretty strong right now, as long as I stick with my core balance/stability exercises and stretch in all the right places after my run.
While I did have to do some treadmill running, I managed to get out on the road for two of my four runs, including today’s 12 mile slush-fest. I ended up moving a couple workouts, but I didn’t skip them and that’s the main thing.
The picture at right is just south of my house and was taken on Christmas Eve. Needless to say, earlier in the week I was on the treadmill. Click on it to see full-size, and a few other morsels from the worst Vancouver snow in at least a decade.
Planned mileage: 28 | Actual mileage: 25.92

4.5 miles treadmill @ 32:00
7:05 pace, intended to do all together, but a bio break forced intervals:

Easy upper body weights afterward.
