I slacked off on my long run this Sunday so I made sure to tackle it Monday (yesterday). A slow 10 miles around Fairfield wasn't too bad. Weather was nice and quite warm (comparatively)! Overall my training is going pretty well. Was a bit set back for a couple of weeks due to a health issue about a month ago, but hopefully the worse of that is behind me now!
I've decided to switch my days around a bit, but I am still following Jack's marathon training schedule for beginners pretty close! He does a great job coaching/helping us. Jack Fultz is a veteran marathoner and the winner of the 1976 Boston Marathon! A typical week for me looks like this:
Sunday: long run, stretch
Monday: rest, strength
Tuesday: shorter run
Wednesday: shorter run, strength
Thursday: cross train 30-60 minutes
Friday: medium run, strength
Saturday: cross train 30-50 minutes
Right now, my long run is up to 10 miles. The next few weeks should average around 30-40 miles per week, increasing each week.
FUNDRAISING UPDATE!!!

I know we can do this guys! I'd love to be able to raise as much as possible by Marathon Monday! Please tell your family/friends and share my message with anyone you think may like to help! The donations that get me the most are the ones that come from the people you least expect :-)
