Four Week's To Go...

I’m just getting in from a weekend away with my wife and daughter and wanted to send a quick check-in with the running schedule for the week. But also, I have included a link to a cool article from Runner’s World that should offer some inspiration for those of us training for the half marathon 11 weeks. Runner’s World tracked 3 runners’ stories, (one of which was a first time runner), as they prepared for the half marathon in 10 weeks!!

And finally, for those running in Oakley, although we’ll be meeting tomorrow at Crossroads @ 6:30am, feel free to come up with an alternate meeting time and location for Thursday. If you’ll let me know after your run tomorrow, I’ll send an update to the other Oakley runners.

Here’s the schedule (notice there is an option for some light cross-training on Wednesday and Friday, along with optional additional minutes on Tuesday and Thursday's run):

Monday - Rest
Tuesday - Run 30 - 45 min
Wednesday - XT or 20 min light cardio
Thursday - Run 30 - 45 min
Friday - XT or 20 min light cardio
Saturday - 6 Miles
Sunday - Rest

Have a great run in the morning...
