Week 6 called for: 3, 5, 3, 7.
it was a much better week overall, and nice to step back the miles a little. my knee is feeling better.
now i'm just experiencing the minor aches and pains that go along with marathon training.
i am really bad at stretching and doing any sort of cool down/warm up, so i know that doesn't help. i need to work on this.
tuesday - an easy 3. felt good, even though i had just run 10 the day before.
wednesday - it was a good day for a rest day. i lacked motivation. did end up walking 3 miles in the evening, so that made me feel better that i did something.
thursday - 5 (overall pace: 9:33)
friday - walked 3 with the family in the evening. so nice.
saturday - my middle daughter biked by me for 8 miles. (yep, i did more than what i was scheduled for. such an overachiever. ha!) she did awesome! it was a hot day, and she didn't complain once. i was so proud of her! i ran with my nathan handheld water bottle, and that worked really well. i need to start taking gu on my longer runs. felt pretty good overall, especially after mile 3 (which is normal for me). a cold gatorade never tasted so good when i got home.
sunday - biked 10 miles with my hubby while the kids were at the pool with friends. a fun day!

Sounds like a good week! I love that you're active with your family.
I used to be really bad at stretching, too. Now I'm pretty good at it but really find it helps to do a proper stretch/cool down after.
Awesome week girl! You are doing awesome!
GREAT training week!!! So cute your daughter biked with you :)
You are doing great Wendy! You inspire me so much! I've got to get my consistency in my running plan down and stick to it! Keep up the great work my friend!
great job! You & Kate are such an inspiration! :)
I like step-back weeks, too, because you can get other things done and come back more refreshed and ready to start working hard again at marathon training. What a great week you had!
I'm glad for you that your marathon training is going so well. Yea! Also congrats on signing up for a second race with a friend. Sounds like fun! Hope you have a good week!
