This week definitely was a challenging one! My leg was feeling a bit better, but I still had to keep my miles in check after being pretty low mileage for a few weeks. I didn’t want to suddenly jump too high and make any improvements worthless. I can’t believe the marathon is in just 10 weeks!
Monday: 12 miles, 2:22 –> last week’s long run that didn’t happen on Sunday. I actually did this on the treadmill, slow and steady. I started off with 20:5 run/walk intervals, and then did .1 walk/.9 mi run for the last 3 miles. My leg actually felt great the whole time!
Tuesday: Rest – leg was bothering me again
Wednesday: Yoga 30 day challenge days 6 (lower back) and 7 (Intro to Crow pose). I’ve fallen a little behind in the challenge but I’m still trying to finish it before the end of August!
Thursday: 2 miles easy, tech-free. I did 5 strides to get myself moving before Saturday’s race.
Friday: Rest (More like I forgot to bring my yoga mat to NH with me…)
Saturday: 10K run (1:02:48), 2.7 mi hillclimb (1:06:25). More to come on that later!
Sunday: Not sure yet! I’m heading to the beach after work and may swim a little bit, and may also go on a short walk this evening. My leg is hurting bad, which is my fault (I didn’t roll it out or ice it yesterday) so I need to treat it well the next couple of days!
Weekly miles: 22.9
The Baltimore Marathon is now the next big event on my schedule! I may throw a half marathon in before then, but all my focus is towards finishing 26.2 in one piece and feeling healthy!
See Sam Run 
I’m sorry to hear your leg is still bothering you so much! That race sounds like a crazy challenge – I’m excited to hear the details. That’s interesting how the second shorter half took just about as long as the 10K!

I couldn’t believe it took me longer! There was over 3,000ft of elevation gain, so it was basically a glorified, fast hike. It was rough!
