More Intervals? But I did them last week! My Marathon Training journal entry for Day 9 brings more intervals. It’s my most dreaded workout of the week. There are times when I don’t mind them, but I can’t plan those days. You know. The ones where all the planets align and the run just goes […]
Training Journal: Monday, July 31st It’s end of a month and the start of a new week. This is the start of week two of marathon training. Running Behind Things didn’t start on schedule today. I had a lot of things going on this past week and weekend and it’s been really busy, outside of […]
