The second week of my 10 week schedule started out with a missed run on Monday Sept 19th. I had a good tempo run on Wednesday in very wet conditions for my mock x-c race. Then the rest of the week was a bit of patch work as I was able to shift around a few days to get in a total of 4 runs. I have included my original schedule along with my actual log below. Although I am a little disappointed that the week didn’t come off as planned, I am happy to see that I was only 3 miles off my weekly mileage target.

I have already conceded that I will move my next week’s Thursday run to Friday due to prior commitments, but I am looking forward to a solid week. On a side note, I did notice some fatigue in my right leg, but I felt great on my very easy Sunday run. Only two weeks into my schedule and I am already looking forward to next week. I will have to keep an eye on my body as I ramp up my weekly runs to 5 days from basically 0 days three weeks earlier.
Off to bed, another easy run tomorrow.
See you on the trails.
