8 weeks and counting

So forgive the randomness this morning….I’m trying to cut back on how much coffee I’ve been drinking lately. But Monday morning plus lack of caffeine = bullet points

  • It was great to have a step-back week last week – my body really needed the rest!
  •  the pair of Saucony Mirage I ordered showed up on my doorstep and I took them out for the first test run yesterday.  

I only went 3 miles in them but so far I’m in love! I had to resist the urge to go farther. There is definitely a different feel with the lower heel so I know my calves will need to adjust. I’m going to run in them at least once, maybe twice, a week to ease the transition. A full review to come!

    • Only 8 weeks to go until race day! The next few weeks of my training plan are really going to be critical for me both physically and psychologically cause I’ll be crossing into double digit long runs for the first time.
    •  This week I continue my quest to find my inner yogi, while the plan calls for intervals at the track, a couple of shorter runs and a 9 mile LSD. I’d like to get in 2 days of strength training and, as I mentioned last week, more core work.
    Happy Monday!

    1. You’re talking to the number one fan of bullet points, believe me! Sounds like you are on track for a great one to me…

    2. less coffee + Monday morning would equal no post for me! You are well on your way to a great race!!!

    3. Way to go!! 🙂

    4. Happy Monday!

    5. Sweet looking shoes!

      You are doing great and going to be ready for your race in 8 weeks.

      Mine is in 3 weeks.

    6. let me know when you run by my house…what would you like in your pass by cup? iced coffee, gatorade, or water?

      keep on keepin on!

    7. Yay! Just two months. Exciting for you! And those shoes look cool!

    8. I’ve got them too! But I did nót resist running three times in one week in them, and my feet are punishing me now. I’ve learned my lesson, and will only wear them once a week from now on, like a good little runner.

      It’s just that they made me feel so light footed!
