Marathon training month 3 and 4


The hardest part of training is over! It has been a long, hard journey to train for this marathon. Last month (March) I ran 180 miles and this month will probably be the same. My routine usually consists of three "short" 6-10 mile runs during the week, with one long run (14-20 miles) on the weekend. On top of that I usually take a masters swim class plus one weigh lifting class at the gym. It is a lot of work and I am looking forward to a break. 

I am very lucky to have a friend who runs with me on the long weekend runs. They are anywhere from 2-3+ hour runs so it is good to have a friend to talk to and to keep me going when I'm ready to give up. Less than 3 weeks till race day!
