So much for the extra mileage this week: left the house late on Saturday morning, so I was only able to get a seven-miler in the books. The long-run was scrapped; however, mileage for the week was where it needed to be. Week nine was the half-way mark in Higdon's training regime: the next five weeks are tough. Average weekly miles will be in the mid-40s, while the long runs are between 13 and 20 miles. Still vacillating on whether or not a person really needs two 20-mile training runs prior to the marathon. I'd rather do 21 or 22 once and then save what limited mojo I have for the marathon! Luckily, the weather seems to have turned and the temps will be pleasant from here on out. Week ten's schedule: 6-6-6-6-17.
