Marathon training week 14

Nothing like running through beautiful San Francisco in great company to bring someone's spirit up. I had a great run this morning and I'm still riding the high. I never take our gorgeous city for granted, with its picturesque landmarks and lively communities, including its colorful diversity of people. Today was an especially warm and clear day and we took in wonderful vistas of the bridge the city and beyond.

This week's workouts looked daunting on paper but to my amazement were easier on my body than I expected. I'm beginning to reap the benefits of my training. Both my pace and stamina have improved. I also realized that I'm burning through shoes and I desperately need a new pair...or do I? I alternate between two pairs but one is so worn out I can almost feel the pavement on my big toe. But, they are the most comfortable pair of the two and I have no pain or injuries...yet! I think I'm just going to wait and see if Santa drops off a pair under my tree again ;)

This week's stats:

Monday: 10 mile run, with a stroller and a 30lb babe :)
Tuesday: 8 x hill repeats plus evening yoga
Wednesday: 5 mile run
Thursday: off
Friday: 10 mile, 8 at race pace
Saturday: 20 mile run (woo hoo!)
Sunday: 6 mile run (planned)

Total mileage: 56
