The longer my mileage gets the less I want to press play on any kind of strength training. I need to start finding shorter strength workouts as my mileage increases. I can go back to 30 minutes strength workouts after the marathon.
Thursday – 3 miles
Friday – 2 miles – these were hot miles right in the middle of the day while I got the kids tonight from the stroller.
Saturday -10 miles
This book was the perfect length. I almost always wanted to keep reading it and wouldn’t have put it down except I’m a tired mom at the end of the night hahahaha.
It was an easy read and still inspiring. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would easily recommend it to runners especially but anyone really.
Honestly, I didn’t even know who Des Linden was (runners confession, I don’t really follow the major players lol)

Some books I want to be longer or have more books in the series, some have found that sweet perfect length, but some are WAAAAY too long. This book is WAAAAY too long.
I liked some of the extra background stuff but overall oh man take a hundred pages out.
The beginning 2 chapters that tell you the background of the competitors are good, the middle 2 chapters on the race are good. The last 2 chapters about what the competitors did after could be shortened a bit but were pretty good. Take everything else out as far as I am concerned.
I would say either read this book assuming you will skip through some things or just Google the race and read some excerpts from the book.

With the holiday and the jam packed week we had I was exhausted. We did lots of activities this week so I took it easy on the workouts.
I just hit REI and got lots of yummy new energy gels for the next 2ish months of training!!!!
It has been a very weird late spring/early summer for us here in the Pacific Northwest. Spring stayed cold and wet later than the last few years then once summer hit, boom! We have been in the mid 80s- high 90s since then.
We have four chickens and on average we get 2 to 3 eggs a day. One of them was injured last year so I don’t think she lays anymore.
We have a fig tree out front that’s doing well and a small little container of strawberries that we’ve eaten. Maybe two of us because my son picked some early and birds have gotten the others.
This was promoted as a fun run which always tells me it’s not going to be perfect lol.
This was a cute small town run. About 2 miles of it was done on a trail which was really nice. They had 4 aid stations but you passed one twice for a total of 5 and with the sun and heat it was needed! It was a nice race, small and slightly miscalculated on the distance hahahah. My watch put it at 5.93 miles
But this was a great run for me to make sure I was on track in my marathon training and it was $10!!!! Who can beat that?
All in all except for it being a hot 4th of July it was fun and I would love to do it again next year.
