Week in Review 1/25-1/31 (SLC Marathon Training)

Another week of training and I think it's safe to say I actually had some good runs this week (despite failing a bit on the dieting side of things)!

Running:
Total Miles Ran: 54.11

I had to move a few things around in my schedule due to some work conflicts, but I still managed to run all 6 days and finish the month of January off on a good note with my highest mileage month since February of last year - ending with 196 miles.

Monday
Rest Day

Tuesday
9 Miles with 3 x 6:00 at 7:40 Pace.
Lunch Run from work to Connected Lakes. Actual paces for speedwork: 7:53, 7:41, 7:42

Wednesday
Easy 8
Lunch run to Connected Lakes from work again. Fairly warm today - for THIS winter anyways (mid-30's!).

Thursday
Easy 5
Early, EARLY morning 5 miler. Had to leave my house at 6:50am for work, so that meant setting the alarm for 4:45 and out the door by 5. It was rough. Loki sure seemed to enjoy it though!

Friday
Easy 5
Another early morning run, but started an hour later today - 6:00am - which meant I got to see the sunrise!

Saturday
18 with last 5 progressive / "fast finish" @ 8:40, 8:35, 8:30, 8:25, 8:20. 

Long out-and-back on the river trail that surprisingly went REALLY well, and I even got to wear short sleeves for over half of it! My best long run in a long time! Last 5 actual: 8:40, 8:34, 8:28, 8:22, 8:19

Sunday
Easy 8
Headed to the Monument for this one but ended up with LOTS of fresh snow on the trail, so after 4 miles I diverted over to the Redlands and ran the bike path (still snowy but only about an inch vs. 4-6).

Weight Loss:
Week Starting Weight:131.4
Week Ending Weight: 133.9
Weight Loss: 2.5 lbs GAINED :(
Notes: Okay so the second half of the week wasn't great....kind of bummed by this. Hopefully I can get back on track quickly!
