Marathon Training - Week 8 Summary

My worst week yet. I ran 4... count 'em 4 miles this week out of the 41 planned miles. That is not good. Motivation has been hard to come by, and I'd rather be riding than running. One more week like this (or close to it), and I'm pulling the plug on the marathon this year. On the "plus" side, I rode 150 miles on my bike this week, including commuting to work every single day (I didn't commute home on Friday, because Laura picked me up at work so we could head to Copper Mountain for the First Annual Copper Triangle ride).

Next week is a "rest" week in the marathon plan. I have "only" 38 miles scheduled, with a long run of 12 miles. If I don't live up to the plan this week, I think I'm going to have to beg off the race.

Here's how things broke down this week.
