I felt really good about this week’s training. I was a little worried after starting it off with the Bridgeland Tri, since I really wasn’t feeling well, but I kept the training going all week! My chest still felt a little congested after my 10 miler on Thursday, but by that afternoon I felt fine and have ever since. Now just crossing my fingers it doesn’t come back for a third round!

I also realized this week that the pool at the Fairfield Athletic club is actually a meter pool, and not a yard pool. Good information to have! In an attempt to add more running mileage to my training, I’ve decided I want to add a midweek long run in. Something similar to the way the Hal Higdon plans work. I’ve been doing well with sticking with the Cypress Fit schedule, but I don’t think my mileage will ever get quite high enough to be as ready as I want to be for my upcoming marathons. The 10 miles before work really wasn’t all that bad. As long as I got to bed early, I should be able to make a long run happen at least one day before work each week. It’s just the getting up that’s the problem! I want to rock these marathons, rather than just scraping by and getting to the finish line like I did for Houston 2011. I honestly feel like I’m more ready for a marathon right now than I was back in January, and I’m nowhere near ready right now. 90 days to go!
And I’ll leave you with a silly photo of my cat, Sawyer. I think something might be wrong with him….
Silly Sawyer.... yes... that's his head. On the table. 
beerrunner 
Love the cat picture!
Our cat does the same thing and puts her head in the craziest places!
He found a perfectly good chin rest. AND he can keep an eye out for noms on the table. 🙂
I like that idea, but that would imply that he’s intelligent… after 2 years I just don’t think that’s possible! Cute, but seriously dumb 🙂
See this is exactly why you are so awesome! I can’t fathom hitting up 10 miles before work…even when I was in better shape…but maybe that’s just because I have always been slower than molasses and 10 miles before work would mean I would have to wake up at 3am – haha!
Great week on the workout schedule! I think you will be golden for these marathons!
