Week 11

I have trained for 7 weeks now for the marine corps marathon. Most of it has gone fairly well. There were two weeks during a job transition where my mileage was impacted. However, I was able to readjust and just nailed a solid week although its not quite what I hoped for mileage wise. 8/6 Mon- Rest. 8/7 Tue- Did not wake up in time. Did dumbell thrusters and strict presses 21-15-9 w/40lbs. Ran 2 miles with the ozzer. One mile slow with a weight vest. 8/8 Wed- Ran 10 miles. 3e+4mp+2t+1e. Felt pretty good. Marathon pace during a not short run is feeling easier. At lunch time, I was able to go to the gym and do some abs (hanging leg lifts x60) and 5-5-5-5-5 deadlifts at 170lbs. 8/9 Thur- Woke up with some stiffness in my legs. Ran 10 miles super easy. Stiffness went away after the run. 8/10- Wedding Anniversay. Did not run 8/11- Ran after work at the gym 3 miles. 8/12- Ran 5 miles before work. #traininglog #marathontraining Weekly Total =

Ideas of what to eat after MCM18: #1

Potential plan of things to eat after the marathon #1: First go to union market . 1/2 dozen oysters at rappahannock, go to neopoli's for a smoked salmon salad sandwich then go over to craft kombucha to wash it down with for dessert: get yourself a piece of baklava from DC Mediterranean corner then waddle over to cordial for a fat chocolate stout.

For the rest of 2018

Here are is the plan moving forward: 5k race on September 1st (harry potter themed with the proceeds going to an adult literacy program in the area!!! Accio Literacry!!!!). Reading is the best. Local Half marathon September 23rd Pacing 20ish miles for the Yeti 100 September 28th I'm topping out at a 50ish mile week the last week of September Marine Corps Marathon, October 28th I have two longer term goals. One is qualifying for the boston marathon and one is running a 100 mile race. After this race, I will decide which I will focus on for the next year. I am aware that the boston marathon one will take years. I am not sure if running 100 miles at my age is a good idea.
