monday morning constitutional
my morning constitutional consisted of 9 miles around the city at a leisurely pace just under 9 minutes a mile. the temps were in the upper 50’s, which felt cool at first but was pretty comfortable after the first mile was done. overall, it was a fairly uneventful effort but i did see two cats duking it out and i nearly stepped on a field mouse while running through an overgrown section of town.
MTD – 77 miles
YTD – 1,202 miles
Odometer – 27,540 miles
i usually look at the 12 weeks of training leading to the marathon as an indicator of success. here’s an update of my weekly mileage breakdown…
wk 1 – 52 miles
wk 2 – 50 miles
wk 3 – 46.5 miles
wk 4 – 54 miles
i’ll need to get more volume in over the next 4 weeks then sharpen up with faster paced workouts in september to be ready for lakefront.
