Half Marathon Week 2 - Update

Week 2 was a total bust, we're human and it sucks sometime. Only one workout was completed. However we repeated week 2, and below are the stats. Last week and this week together made one good week. I don't think it's supposed to work like that.

OMG we actually finished our first real long walk. We went at night, it was hot and it seemed to go on forever but an hour and 30 minutes isn't bad for 5 miles! Next week is 6 on Sunday.

Week 2 (repeated)- Total 14 miles
Monday - Rest
Tuesday - 3 miles (missed - lazy)
Wednesday - Rest
Thursday - 3 miles (completed 53:49/avg 3.38 mph/3.03 miles)
Friday - Rest
Saturday - 3 miles (completed 52:24/avg 3.46 mph/3.02 miles)
Sunday - 5 miles (completed 1:30:03/avg 3.37 mph/5.05 miles)

Week 2 (original) - Total 14 miles

Half Marathon Week 1 Update

We completed week 1 of training. We actually went a total of 10 miles not 13 because we missed Thursday's training session. Saturday and Sunday were tough because neither of us are morning exercisers but we made it through. After Sunday's walk I have huge blisters on the back of my heels which are almost healed in time for tonight's walk (Week 2 covered in next post). Wish us luck this week in completing week 2!

Week 1 - Total 13 miles
Monday - Rest
Tuesday - 3 miles (completed in 56:25/avg 3.23 mph/3.03 miles)
Wednesday - Rest
Thursday - 3 miles (missed due to scheduling conflict)
Friday - Rest
Saturday - 3 miles (completed in 52:46/avg 3.12 mph/2.74 miles) lost data due to texting :(
Sunday - 4 miles (completed in 1:17:13/avg 3.21 mph/4.13 miles)
