Marine Corps Marathon Week #11


Sorry for the late post this week. All is well with the training. I did a solid 21 last Sunday. That makes five 20 plus mile runs for this training period. I probably do 13-15 miles this weekend and then I will begin to taper through the month of October. Make sure you keep up with my racing for recovery cause.

Marine Corps Marathon Week #10

Well did 15 miles on Sunday. It was hot and humid and I also was going on little sleep was at a party in CT on Saturday. Well worth it and I still got my miles in for the week. I will post the totals at the bottom of the post. No map of the run on Sunday since I was local and did not go anywhere special expect around the neighborhood. I am also glad Lance has decided to come back and race. The tour was so doped this year someone needs to prove that it can be won again without cheating.

enjoy your week.
