Marathon training week 10

Our family, like many others, is in full back to school transition mode. I thrive on schedules and routines and I'm challenged by unpredictables. But I love spontaneity, go figure. Anyway, the point is that our schedules are slowly falling back into place but there are still a few pending issues: Staggered reading schedule for Isaac, the possibility of getting into a dual immersion program at a different school and all the decisions that come with that, and of course, the inevitable extra curricular activities. Who would have thought that a 5 and 2 year old could have such full lives? I'm trying to roll with the punches but truth be told, I just want the final draft. STAT!

I'm trying to stick closely to my training schedule but I've been flexible to some extent. Here is how this week played out:

Sunday: Rest (I should have run 3 miles here)
Monday: Holiday--extra rest day for me. Yay! (I should have done 9m here)
Tuesday: 6 x hill plus an additional 4 mile run and evening yoga (yay!) --I made up for my missed 9 mile run and added some hill work which was not part of this week's workout.
Wednesday: 6 x 800s plus 30 minutes on the cables (strength training) and walking lunges.
Thursday: off
Friday: 6 mile tempo run plus 4 miles to and from school run.
Saturday: 13 miles, easy run, some walking.

Overall a good week. I got my yoga in and a day of strength training. Next weekend run jumps to 19 miles so I need to gear up for that.

Total mileage: 35 miles (still not counting walking to school)
