The One With Land Of Oz Training {Week 4}

So the first three weeks of marathon training have been a bit of a bust thanks to the holiday and then being sick for nearly 10 days, but hopefully now all of that stuff is behind me and I can now focus wholeheartedly on hitting that 5 hour marathon time I have set for Kansas in April. And I can also focus on getting Rachel to the finish line of her first half marathon! 

Here is a look at how sad and pitiful the past 2 weeks of workouts have looked like:

Week 2 (Dec 31-Jan 6)	Off Done	New Year’s Day	BodyPump+ Speed work Done (5.6 miles)	yoga Off	Off off	8 miles (with Rach) + speed work sick	Yoga sick	18 miles 5.6 miles
Week 3 (Jan 7-13)	5 miles sick	BodyPump sick	Speed work sick	3 miles + yoga sick	Elliptical travel	Houston 5K done	Houston Half Marathon done	24+ miles 17+ miles

After yesterday’s half my right hip flexor was pretty sore last night; however my shins and ankles were pretty sore too and I think it is probably due to the fact that I hadn’t done anything for 10+ days, but all of that being said I will be taking a couple of days off from running and will get back to workouts as usual tomorrow. I plan to run Wednesday and then focus on helping my sister get in her half marathon training.

Here’s what this week will hopefully look like for workouts:
