Week 8 Recap

I really think I will be able to finish now. I had my doubts ealier because I had yet to run outside, and week 7 put a real strain on my legs. Week 8 was entirely different. I felt comfortable running and actually think I prefer it to the treadmill. I think it has a lot to do with actually seeing progress made instead of running in one spot. It also save me about an hour/day in drive time and hot tub.

My weekly goal was 20.5 miles with the long Sunday run being 8.5 miles. I completed 21 miles and 9 miles on Sunday. What was strange was I really didn't start to tire until after the 8 mile mark. Week 9 will be the longest training week unless I decided to push things later. At 22.0 miles, it isn't much different than this past week.
