*I ran 5 solo miles and then met up with my brother to run the last 5 miles. I struggled through most of these miles so I am not even worried about the pace! The humidity was rough but I enjoyed the bit of rain we got towards the end.*
W3D7: REST DAY
Total Weekly Mileage: 20.5 miles
I really had to push myself this week with the heat and humidity but I really nailed my workouts in the beginning of the week. My long run? Not so much. But that’s a story for another day. Here’s to three weeks of marathon training DONE!
The rain felt incredible Saturday during my run!! I 100% know how you felt during the first few miles because the humidity sucked. I was ready to be done at mile 1 of 13 haha.
ReplyDeleteI just can't stop saying I am done with this humidity! It's making these runs so much harder no matter how early I get up and go! I hope it cools down soon!
