Marathon Training - Week 8

This week's training was supposed to look like this:

Sunday: cross
Monday: rest
Tuesday: 4 mile speedwork
Wednesday: 8 mile pace
Thursday: 4 mile
Friday: carbs
Saturday: Manhattan half marathon

I did my hour of cycling on Sunday.  Monday I rested.  Tuesday it rained, and I considered staying in bed again.  I like to tell myself I shouldn't run in the rain.  I could slip and slow my ankle's recovery.  I could catch a cold.  If I'm being honest though, I just like to stay in my warm bed.

Anyway, instead of being the pansy I was last week, I got my butt to the treadmill.  I even did 1/4 mile intervals with 1/4 mile recoveries.  I was so proud of myself for getting in my run and doing something good for my ankle.  I even watched the news while I ran.  So productive.

I was having a great morning... only to get home and slam my toe into the sink.  My toe is looking a little broken, so I took today off.  Hoping tomorrow I can buddy tape that friend and get back on the treadmill.
