Week 14 Summary

By RKB on August 22, 2011 12:54 PM | No Comments

I'd initially thought that maybe this week wasn't that great. Maybe a little sub-par. And, true, it's the first time since mid-May where I've had more rest days than running or cross-training. But three days of runs is still pretty solid. Saturday's long run, in particular, more than made up for any missed days of cross-training this week. I didn't hit twenty miles last year until three weeks before the marathon. I'm hoping to get at least one more weekend of at least twenty before this year's Twin Cities.

  • 3 runs for 29 miles (long run of 20 miles)
  • 0 spin classes
  • 4 days of rest
Longest run to date: 20 miles
Total training miles since 05/12/2011: 275 miles

A Few Notes

After running two marathons in October 2010 with Team in Training, I've decided to "slack off" with just the one marathon in 2011.

This year will be in memory of Siona Shah, an amazing young girl who spent the final third of her too-short life battling leukemia with courage, grace, humility, and smiles.

It will also be in memory of my step-grandmother, Ruth, who passed away on June 15th after a recurrence of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

I'd originally started using this site to tell my story -- roughly eight months of treatment in 1990, as well as the impact leukemia had on me in the years that followed. Much of that story is still available through the "Table of Contents" below (starting with my initial diagnosis while I was studying in England).
