I was so excited about the HM results yesterday that I forgot to recap week #1 of Lansing Marathon training.  (Plus, the whole holiday thing is throwing me off and I’m losing track of what day we are on!)

Week #1 Summary:

• Miles run: 37.2
• Bike: 40 minutes
• Pilates: 1 time (I swear I thought I did it more!)
• Weights: 1 time
• Planks:  5 days (2 or 3 60 second planks; 1 30 second side plank)

Details:

• M: 8.25 miles (8:04)  (w/ 6 x 60/60’s at faster than 5k + 2 x 60/60’s)
• T: bike 40 minutes; weights
• W: 7.85 (8:38) (w/ 4 x .30 mile hill repeats at MP)
• Th: pilates
• F: 5 miles (9:05)
• Sa: 3 miles (8:59)
• Su: Polar Dash Half Marathon (1:40:33)

I feel good about the first week of training, although the mileage was a little bit light because of a mini-taper for the half marathon.  I do need to increase the strength and cross so that I can stay healthy and strong.  I have to say though, that I’m excited about the outlook for Lansing with how strong my half marathon was yesterday.

Bring on week #2!

Kristy started Boston training today with some speedy miles!  Go Kristy Go!
