February Wrapup
Susan’s update:
2/15 (week 3): Ran 13.5 at 8:28 pace on the President’s Day holiday, so I felt ready for my race the next week. I did 6 miles with Brian at an easy 9min pace to loosen up my legs before the Half Marathon on Sunday. No yoga or strength training, and I didn’t get out on a workday at all. Best total mileage to date, though, at 32.6mi for the week.
2/22 (week 4): Ran Tuesday with a colleague despite having a crazy week at work. Got out in the drizzle yesterday for five and a half miles with Brian, then lifted afterwards. I put in 14.5 miles today. I didn’t notice blisters from the race last week but I definitely have two now, likely it’s the spike in mileage (20 miles over 2 days). Weekly mileage was 24.6.
Total mileage for February: 92.5 miles
I’m almost ready to lock down my race schedule for the remainder of the year. I missed hiking and biking last summer, so I’d like a plan that leaves the main part of the summer open without the pressure of specific training. So, I’m considering a spring race and then Reach the Beach in September and the Marine Corps Marathon in October . The big question is whether I can ramp up to 30 miles and be ready to handle elevation and trails in May or June to do an ultra.
