This week was a great week and start to my marathon training. The weather has been great which I think is a huge contributing factor. All I need now is for the next 17 weeks to be like the last 2 weeks! I think I finally have my diet under control…at least for 5 consecutive days so far. In the recent months, whenever I tried to control my diet, I would only last 2 days. What I started to do was to track everything that went into my mouth. In the past, I would track the major meals, but end up eating a lot of smaller snacks that I never bothered to track. From now on, I will try and summarize my week’s training in a table as follows: | Day | Plan | Actual | Avg Pace | Comments | | Sun | | 6 Mi | 9:46 | The plan actually starts on a Monday so today was a rest day. | | Mon | | 7 Mi w/ 10x160m | 9:26 | The weather was great so I decided to do Tuesday's run today instead. It was 55F when I ran | | Tue | 7 Mi w/ 10x100m | 3 Mi | 9:43 | Recovery run instead of a rest day | | Wed | | 9 Mi | 9:54 | Did Thursday's 9-miler today. Felt great for the first 7.5 miles. Took 3 short walking breaks in the last 1.5 miles | | Thu | 9 Mi | | | Rested today after 7 consecutive days of running. | | Fri | | 5 Mi | 9:33 | | | Sat | 4 Mi | 2 Mi | 9:55 | Recovery run. No real running benefit. I justwanted to burn a few calories to help with my weight loss | | Total | 20 Mi | 32 Mi | | |
