Well maybe not the beginning...I will save that recap for another day, but thought I would describe where we are right now.
Another day of training has gone by as I, along with Dean set our sights on the Victoria Marathon in October. We are nearing the end of the Aerobic Capacity phase of our training and though this week was supposed to be one of recovery it has been anything but. Thanks to 4 days vacation last week at the trailer, smores, hot dogs and the ever popular buffet restaurant, Four Seasons I found myself a victim to temptation. It was well worth the distraction though, we had a great time playing in the pool, lying in the sun and visiting the scenic Fairhaven, WA! Fairhaven Village Fish'n Chips...awesome! And can you believe 50 flavours of soft serve ice cream!!
Knowing that you really can never make up the lost kilometres, I decided to make this a bit more of a hard week than was scheduled after missing out on a combined 4 hours of running. I feel so guilty, no really I do...it's a sickness I know!
Running since Tuesday, I have accumulated 53 km. With our Sunday long run tomorrow of 34 km, it will push the total to 87 km. This is certainly something that we are used to, so there is not much concern about fatigue or injury at this point. We'll see what happens next week as sticking to the schedule means another very hard week leading up to more specific marathon training. With 7 weeks to the Marathon, it's crunch time. No more giving in to temptation! Well maybe a little...
