Training For New York Marathon , Weeks 5 and 6


Training For New York, Weeks 5 and 6
💚Team for Kids💚.


Week 5 🏃
I had a great vacation visiting Las Vegas.

I was able to enjoy some workouts besides running while I was on vacation.
The hotel had a nice pool, and I was able to do a 45-minute lap swim a few times at 8:00 am.
In Las Vegas, it was very easy to swim at 8:00 am because most guests were sleeping. I had the pool basically to myself. No one gets up that early except for my spouse and me!

I also enjoyed using the exercise weight room. It was also empty of people. Lol…I was able to moan and groan without being stared at as I lifted weights.

My spouse and I also did a lot of walking along the Vegas Strip.

Week 6. 🏃
I flew home and relaxed a bit.
I had an excellent Labor Day. We had our kids, their spouses, and grandchildren visit our home for a BBQ.

Saturday, I ran 16 miles. I like my pace. I was also well rested going into my long run.
I am hoping to finish the NewYork Marathon held on November 2nd in around 7 hours.

Long run 16 miles Yeah !!! I have 8 weeks until the Marathon to push hard on the Long runs!!!
