7 Feb - Session 28

2046 GMT - Rest Day! It was a good thing too because I stayed up late to watch part of the Super Bowl...kick off time was 2330 UK time! I fell asleep about 0030, woke up an went to bed about 0100. I slept in until 0700 and took Marshall to school this morning before going to work.

This week will be busy and I'll be travelling again. Thursday back down to Portsmouth then on to London. Back to Bristol on Friday. The good news is I should be able to get every training session in, but there will be some early mornings! Thursday will be super early...We depart from Abbey Wood (where I work) at 0630!

Part of me is wondering if the program is working...am I getting faster? I've been doing it now for 4 weeks. I think it's working and I feel pretty good, but I decided not to think about it or worry too much about how fast I may or may not be running. I want to enjoy training for the marathon. If I'm too wrapped up about how fast I am or am not getting, I won't. Since all my training is heart rate targeted, I removed the pace data field from my Garmin. I can't readily see how fast I am running. All I can see are HR, distance, and elapsed time. I won't pass judgement on the program until the marathon is over.  There are still 15 weeks to go...I'm sure I will get faster.

I'm sure everyone is wondering what kind of goals I have set for myself...or maybe not. I'll write about that another time, maybe next week as I am running short on time now!

Looking forward to another good week of training
