In week two of my half marathon training, I stepped it up a notch. Here’s the mileage breakdown:
M-6 miles
T-6 miles
W-6.5 miles
T-6.5 miles
F-6 miles
S-8 miles
S-6 miles

Yep, 8 hours 37 minutes recorded on my watch and 4549 calories burned over those 45 miles (it actually averages out to less than 100 calories per mile because some of those eight hours were spent walking during the cool down). If you’ve read my Ache post, you know they weren’t all ran in painless bliss. Some of them down right hurt.
Due to the holiday weekend, I have a feeling that week three will total out several miles less even though I have to run 9 miles this weekend. My hubby will no doubt want to grill a bit and kick back.
My top five things I want to do over the 4th of July weekend are (in no particular order) 1) Get as much writing done as possible. I’m working on revising and editing Destiny’s Flight. An editor from Harlequin has the first three chapters so I’m working on polishing the rest in case she requests it (a girl can dream big right?) 2) Spend much needed time with my hubby. He’s been working so hard lately. We’ll finally have some alone time to just hang out or go on a date. 3) Run. No surprise here. 9 miles this weekend baby! 4) Eat something grilled. Whether it’s hamburgers or brautworsts or steak, sometimes I just crave that barbequed piece of meat. 5) See some fireworks. It’s the 4th of July. How could I not?
What are your plans for the holiday? Anyone taking a vacation or because of the high gas prices are you staying home?
