Sun, Feb. 3rd: 20 mile run. More than half of the run was in fresh snow--difficult footing, tough to run in. Got blisters on the bottoms of both feet from tucking leg warmers into my shoes, had terrible back pain for the last few miles. Very cold. If I got through this run, I can get through the marathon no problem.
Mon, Feb. 4th: 1 hour of weight training + 3 mile run
Tues, Feb. 5th: took day off
Wed, Feb. 6th: 8-mile rune
Thurs, Feb. 7th: 4-mile run
Fri, Feb. 8th: 5 mile run with hills (5-6-5)
Sat, Feb. 9th: off
Sun, Feb. 10th: 14-mile "race pace" run. Finished fast & strong. Final loop with the Great Hill--accelerated up the hill, kept the faster pace until the end.
Mon, Feb. 11th: 1 hour weight training + 1 mile run (felt worn out)
Tues, Feb. 12th: took off--traveled to Boston, had interview, had no energy by the time I checked into the hotel.
Wed, Feb. 13th: 7-mile run--felt weird cramping, just felt off. Not a good run at all.
Thurs, Feb. 14th: took off
Fri, Feb. 15th: 5-mile run before coffee. Didn't feel great. Ran on bad hotel treadmill. Did hills anyway--three 4s.
Sat., Feb. 16th: travel day, took off.
Sun, Feb. 17th: 20 miler (possibly shorted a bit). This was a tough run. 20+ mph gusts of wind, did 1.7 loop of Central Park and then ran over the 59th Street Bridge, through Queens & Brooklyn, over the Williamsburg Bridge (killer head wind), down the Eastside, bad headwind all the way back to 72nd and Broadway. Picked up the pace after passing 34th Street and kept the faster pace for the rest of the run, but headwinds were really whipping us up the Westside, and it was difficult to keep any kind of pace going since the wind felt like it could almost stop us in our tracks.
