Marathon Training Update - Week 6

Bataan Memorial Death March Marathon Training Update

I haven't written anything in a while.  I am currently in week 6 of marathon training.  So far so good.

Weekly mileage

Week 1 - 20 miles

Week 2 - 20.68 miles

Week 3 - 8 miles - Man drill weekends take up a lot of time.

Week 4 - 22.3 miles

Week 5 - 9 miles - stupid sickness

Week 6 - 9 miles so far

Total mileage so far - 89.12 miles

This week I am working through a little IT Band injury.  I ran 3 miles last night and it didn't seem to hurt too bad.  Today I've had almost no pain but it's also an off day.

Oh yeah I ran the Rudolph Run 5K this past weekend and PR'd.  I ran a 22:32 (I've shaved 2 minutes of my 5K time in the last 6 months).  I finished 64th out of 991 runners and 5th out of 34 in my age group (30-34).  I'm very happy with this run but still a lot of work to do.  One day I want to run a sub 20 minute 5K.

Just 12 more weeks left.  Can't wait until the big day.
