Week 13 went by fast thanks to some surprise days off! I mostly recapped this week in other posts, but in case of a PR I want to be able to look back and see what went right. My fastest half marathon training notes are lost on my old college laptop, but to be honest, I don't think I'd find much there. I just ran when I felt like it and added a mile each week to my long run up until 10 miles and then ran my half. I had never needed or used fuel, and probably stupidly, took a gel for the first time at mile 9 of my race. I felt fine afterwards, other then being pretty sore. Apparently, my life should be fueled by nachos and margaritas in order to achieve perfect running balance.

| I miss these days so much. |
Monday: 5 hilly miles in my neighborhood. Slow and steady on tired legs.
Wednesday: 11 miles on the 'mill.
Friday: 5 miles on the 'mill. I pushed a little bit, but mostly just ran at an easy pace so my legs don't start to hate me later.
Total for the week: 21 miles.
Total for Shamrock Training Plan: 204.96 (Guys, you have no idea how much that .96 annoys me. I'm tempted to go run down the street to fix it.)
Week 14 is two 45 minute runs and a 10x800 run. Hopefully the weather will start to cooperate so I can hit the trails again soon! I'm starting to get cabin fever!
We're getting cabin fever, too! I am convinced we will never see temperatures above single digits again and that Barley and I will fight until our brains explode. I hope you and the 'mill don't have the same problem.
ReplyDeleteHaha, thanks! I think Mad Dog and I will finally get out and about this weekend!
