Highest mileage week --- ever --- and the highest week scheduled of my marathon training.
Sunday: 20 miles! And it went well. Had enough fuel in the tank before leaving, had enough with me for along the way. The weather was cooler, I got to go out in the morning instead of after a few hours of toddler-wrangling (it really makes a difference), I got some decent sleep the week before. A run to make me feel more confident about finishing the marathon with some style.
Monday: Rest day (yoga).
Tuesday: 5 miles easy (yoga).
Wednesday: Swam 0.75 mile.
Thursday: 9 miles total, 8x800@4:20 (yoga).
Friday: Swam 0.75 mile.
Saturday: Rest day.
Migraines all week (last week too), with a scary spacey/low-blood-sugar/panic-attack-like-thing on Saturday. So I've got some phone calls to make and appointments to set up. Plus a bit more eating to do! Now is not the time to try to lose weight --- I have to keep remembering that since I do have some more to come off (and just got my copy of Racing Weight by Matt Fitzgerald, which has me thinking about it). But not right now.
That's probably about 3 months' worth of physical activity for me (mostly in the form of walking to and from the parking lot).
