How I felt this week:
Pretty good for the most part. I'm really happy about getting in biking and swimming miles! I feel that cross training is a vital part of Marathon training.
Part of my biking minutes this week was a spin class so I worked much harder during that class. Monday I was off work because of President's day, this helped me get in an extra long workout. My run on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were on a treadmill. The run on Tuesday I just couldn't get into it, it was hard work to complete all 5 miles, so when it was completed of course I felt amazing and very accomplished.
The run on Saturday on the hotel treadmill wasn't fun because it was a super crappy treadmill, one of the worst I've ever ran on, but it was an ice storm outside so I couldn't go outside to 1/10th of an inch of ice everywhere, too dangerous. I was going to do 4 miles on the treadmill so I could get 7 miles in for the day (including the race we were doing in the cave), but decided that I would wait until we arrived home from Missouri to run outside in Iowa, then I did just that, we arrived home at 5:30p.m. on Saturday, I quickly dressed to run outside and had an amazing 3 mile run outdoors while the daylight stuck around for a few more minutes!

Running on the beach
During the 4th week of 2015, I had the opportunity to go to Marco Island, Florida with some friends and they took a picture of me running on the beach. What an awesome time we all had there! This picture is a great memory.

I had a crazy thought this week and booked a marathon! Ha, what was I thinking? A third Marathon!! Okay, so I did it and had a great first week of training, all except for bike miles.
I'm following an intermediate training plan of Hal Higdon's see it here: Hal Higdon Intermediate training plan for Marathon.
I chose this because I have done 2 marathons before and I'm running close to the miles in this program some weeks. Some weeks I have spent more effort on biking or swimming due to triathlon training. I've decided that I am strong enough to do both Half Iron Olympic training AND this intermediate training for a marathon. I know going into this that there will be times that my swimming and biking miles will be more of a focus, however those are great cross training miles and I'm okay with that.
