2 - Starting Over
Hi.
I'm upset the Austin marathon didn't work out, but I'm now aiming for Grandma's marathon in Duluth coming up in June. I'll be trying to follow their intermediate training plan, which is quite challenging - only one day of rest each week. I'm fairly close to on-track for weeks one and two, running about 4 miles per day. I'll have to try and do some medium runs on Saturday and long runs on Sunday. It will be a huge commitment.
Schedule for this week (week 2)
Mon 2/19 - OFF ~ 4 mi
Tue 2/20 - 4 mi ~ 5 mi, 34:55 (fastest 5 miles ever!)
Wed 2/21 - 5 mi ~ Stationary bike, 31 min
Thu 2/22 - 4 mi ~ 4 miles, plus 45 minutes of pilates
Fri 2/23 - 4 mi ~ 2 miles, 14:08 - was tough in the cold!
Sat 2/24 - 5 miles at race pace ~ none
Sun 2/25 - 10 miles ~ none

Hey,
If you are going to do Grandma's make sure you book a room NOW! They are probably all full already, and they are way overpriced. I've run Grandma's twice, and both times the hotel was expensive (and a dump).

Thanks for the advice - I was going to try the college dorm option or possible the KOA campground in Cloquet. I am "no frills"! I'll definitely make some calls soon.
