Much like many of the other times I fell off the bandwagon, life got in the way this weekend. I took my son to the park and to the Bounce House on Saturday, and had company at night. On Sunday, I pulled sod and did a marathon's worth of leg work (10 hours). That being said, I did not run at all over the weekend, but feel I actually did more to strengthen my legs than if I had run. I only ran 6.0 miles this week instead of the scheduled 15.0.
On the plus side of things, my weight started to drop this week. I've also picked up the pace a little bit on my runs, finishing a full minute ahead of pace in the 1.5 mile run. Doesn't sound like much, but it means running at 7.0/mph for 6 minutes instead of 6.0/mph, or completing the half-marathon 19 minutes quicker.
Week 4 is a "break" week. Only 13.0 miles with the long run of only 4.5 miles. Because of the full leg workout I got on Sunday, the key day is going to be Tuesday. My hamstrings and feet are quite sore. If I can get to the gym and work through the soreness, I should be fine.
