For those of you who may have been wondering, which is most likely no one, I am indeed still here. Despite the fact that I haven't been posting on my blog, I am in fact still running and training. I will probably do some catch-up posts to detail some of my running/racing experiences over the last seven weeks, but for now, I will just provide a brief synopsis.
During my four week FIRST tune-up, I built myself up to over 20 weekly miles with a 10-mile long run in preparation for marathon training. I ended up not doing my final 12-miler just before I started marathon training because I figured a little extra rest going into my 16-week training regimen might be a good idea.
I have my 17-mile long run to complete tomorrow and then I will be through three weeks of training. The training has gone well so far, but I haven't been cross training as often or intensely as I had hoped to going into my training. I plan to work it in more often and increase the cross training component as the training progresses.
I'm not exactly sure of the reason for my seven week hiatus from blogging except to say that I just didn't feel like posting. I detail all of my training in my running journal that I keep for my own personal use so I guess that maybe blogging just felt like doing twice as much work. Whatever the reason for my absence, I am back now and plan to post more regularly. My marathon training is in full swing, so I will definitely have plenty to write about.
