I’m now officially more than 1/2 way through this training cycle. 8 more weeks to go. I feel like I’m in a really good place with my running and like there is still enough time to get to an even better place.
This week was much better rounded than last – with cross training and lots of pilates (guess posting swimsuit pictures really was motivation!). Still no weights though. Just can’t seem to make time for that.
Lansing Marathon Training, week #9 recap:
- Miles run: 43.5
- Biking: 50 minutes
- Other cross: 50 minutes (elliptical and stairs – BORING!)

Big mileage week coming up this week with a 21 – 22 miler on tap for next weekend. Yipee!
Cindi, thanks for the comment about my son! Yes, he does look like me, poor child! :^)
You’ve sounded great in your last two posts. Almost makes me jealous of the 21-miler…..almost….
