Week #5 Boston Marathon Training
Less mileage, more wisdom this week. đź’›
Sickness hit last Sunday, and I tried easing back in with slow miles early on, but by Wednesday it was clear that rest was the better choice. By Friday, I felt like me again—strong enough for a solid Body-Pump session and ready for my long runs this weekend. Those miles felt so good and reassured me that listening to my body earlier in the week was exactly what I needed.
Nutrition wasn’t great at the beginning of the week—and that’s okay. When you’re sick, survival mode comes first. I ate what sounded good, even if that meant more carbs and sugar, because fueling something was better than nothing. By the end of the week, I knew exactly how to get myself back on track. Grace over guilt, always.
Heading into week #6 and I can’t believe how fast this is going. They say time flies when you’re having fun—and that’s true—but I also want to soak up every single moment of this training cycle. Part of me wishes it would slow down just a little.
