This week, being week 5 of the Walt Disney World Marathon training, was designed to be an easy week. My legs are feeling great and my recovery from the half marathon distance was easy going. Actually a lot easier than I expected. The week itself was fairly typical with 5K distances Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Debra came to us on Friday and encouraged us to race the "Old Soldier's Day 5K/10K Road Race". We performed it for our Saturday run. Even though it was supposed to be an easy 4 mile run, we went ahead and did the 10K distance for the race. I'm really enjoying 10K runs and this was a nice little race. [
Race recap ] My shoes have finally hit their limits. I'm a bit frustrated with this because contemporary running wisdom says that you should be able to get around 400 miles on a pair of shoes and I barely got 100. I went and bought two new pairs of shoes. The first pair is my current Saucony Cohesion 6 and the second pair is a New Balance shoe that I have never worn before. I'm hoping having two pairs of shoes will reduce the replacement window and it gives me an opportunity to try a different shoe with the New Balance.
This is how the mileage shook out. Long run of 8 miles planned for week 6.
Until next week,
~J
