Week's 6 and 7

It's been kind of busy, so I missed last week's update (on vacation for the holiday, so I had to get back into the swing of things!).

The past two weeks went well. My new running schedule seems to be helping my shins a lot and I haven't had any leg pain for awhile now. I'm currently running Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays so that I have rest time in between runs. Before, I would do a back to back run on Wednesday and Thursday, but I think my shins really need a rest day to recover properly. As of now, I'm running 7.2miles which I think is crazy! I remember when the idea of doing a 3 mile run would make my stomach churn with dread, but now I don't fear the distance quite so much. I'll be honest, the thought of running 13.1 miles still seems daunting to me, but I'm halfway there and stillhave 3 months of training to complete. I'd say I'm well on my way!

I've been keeping a training log on RunnersWorld.com (which I highly suggest. It is a great site) and as of yesterday, I've run 85.1 miles since I started!

This week, we're planning to crest the 8 mile mark... should be interesting.
