St. Jude Training – Week 17
The training the St. Jude’s Marathon is done.
It was a good week and what made it even better was that I was on vacation. With the office closed Thursday and Friday, Thanksgiving week is always a good time to get a week off and only use three vacation days.
Monday was 7 miles with 8 x 100m strides.
Tuesday, I ran 8 miles.
Wednesday was a rest day.
Thursday, Amy and I ran the Habitot 5k and then I ran 2 additional miles when I got back to the house.
Friday was another rest day.
Saturday I ran 12 miles.
Now it is just a couple of easy runs this week and then head for Memphis on Friday.
At this point, the weather looks great, overnight lows in the mid-30s and the high in the low 50s and dry. Hope the forecast holds for the next 7 days.
