Higdon and Hellions
Here is the schedule for the week of 4/24!
Mon 4/24 - a nice day of rest after the 10K on Sunday.
Tue 4/25 - I've decided to switch to Hal Higdon plan for marathon. The "novice" plan. I have no illusions that I am an intermediate level runner, a mistake I've made in the past. There is no glory in overtraining. Anyway, I did 4 miles today, per the Higdon plan. I think my time was 32:28 but don't quote me on that. Also worked on some upper body stuff with weight machines.
Wed 4/26 - Did 9 miles on treadmill, in 72 minutes. It seemed almost too easy. There was a twinge of pain in my right IT band (the troublesome side lately) but I was able to alter my gait slightly and make it go away.
Thu 4/27 - Did 5 miles in 38:10. Did some upper body work, same as Tuesday.
Fri 4/28 - Hal sez:"rest". So I shall rest before my long run.
Sat 4/29 - Long run of 18 miles on schedule, will probably do 19. End result" Did 19 miles, 2 loops of 9.5 along a rather hilly trail. No trouble afterward. Total time: 2:53:47.
Sun 4/30 - Supposed to cross train, will have to invent something at home. Perhaps lots of vacuuming. Nope. Rested instead. Some pain and stiffness in left calf as well as right knee.

Note to self: This is 44 miles in 1 week, and 54 miles in 8 days. I will need new shoes soon - 300 miles on a pair of shoes is supposed to be the limit.
