baby on the outside - ready to cheer for his mama


I don't really taper, but each day this week I am going to try to focus on something to prepare for next Monday. This is my plan - advice welcome!!

Mon 8 miles marathon pace
Tues swim/lift/x-train (skip lifting this week?)
Wednes- 1 mile wu, 2-3 miles m-pace, 1 mile cd
Thurs- same as Tues,maybe yoga?
Fri-2-3 easy miles
Sat- off/yoga/walk at expo
Sun-2 easy miles
Mon- MARATHON day

  9. I can't beleive the marathon is almost here! Hope that this week goes well. Even though most training plans say not to run the day before a race, sometimes I feel like it helps me!

  12. I can't believe it's a week away. I'm so jealous of everyone running. Maybe this fall I'll qualify...

  17. I've just spent the whole morning reading/writing blogs. Had to read your last 10 entries in one go. Sounds like everything is going well for you.

    Making your own peanut butter is very impressive. I've banned it from my house, as I can demolish a whole jar with a spoon :-)

    Nick is definitely sprouting. He's gorgeous. You certainly made the right decision to hang out with him as long as possible. I haven't really stopped working - I've usually got Cairn in one hand and my Blackberry in the other. I'll be heartbroken when I have to go back to the office and leave him at nursery all day :-(

    Enjoy your taper week. Although I can't imagine you resting.

    I hope you're giving your marathon medal to Nick. He did most of the training after all :-)

    Ps: You're looking fab in the pictures!
