Week 8 of half marathon training was another solid week — the runs felt good, I felt strong on the hills and my ITB is under control. The one downside of the week was missing my weekly yoga class. I haven’t been able to get to this class with any consistency lately because the collective family schedules have been all over the place! We’re facing another busy week in the RWA household with lots of fun stuff going on, but I’m determined to get back to that class this week.
Training for Week 9 includes:
Monday – 6 miles (with negative split on the back 3)
Tuesday – Cross-training
Wednesday – 4 mile Fartlek
Thursday – 1000 meter repeats & Yoga
Friday – Rest
Saturday – Shakeout Run with Bart Yasso
Sunday – BAA 5K
Yes – did you catch that? A run with Bart Yasso! Last week, I was invited by Runner’s World to join a group run with Bart Yasso as part of all the great activities Runner’s World has going on during Marathon weekend. Very excited – hope I can keep up with him 🙂
What have you got planned for this week?
Bart is so much fun–just a humble yet colorful guy who loves running. Have a ball with him on that run!
Have fun with Bart, wish I could make it up there for that race weekend!
I like how you casually through in Bart Yasso’s name. Have a blast!
How exciting Michelle! I’ll be at the BAA 5K too. Hopefully I’ll see you!
PS – I wish I could totally crash the Bart Yasso run 😉
Awesome week and BY is the bomb! Such a great, down to earth guy and a total badass runner. He came to our pre-race party in Boston and I saw him again at the MCM last year.
Enjoy running with Bart Yasso this Saturday! That will be a lot of fun.
