Week 5 of 20 Marathon training

I am happy to report that this was another successful week of training.  My long run of the week was 15 miles on Saturday, which is a personal best for me.  It was the first time I have ever ran over 13.1 miles.  The weather in Northeast Ohio has not allowed me outside for the 3rd week in a row and judging from this Mega Storm that starts this evening, it may be till the weekend before I can attempt to run outside.  My long run this week will be back to 13 on Saturday.  As of tomorrow, my training program will have me on a 10 day run-fest.  Well, more of a grind than fest.  I will be running 10 days straight and I believe the total for that time period will be 59 miles.  Hopefully I will drop some more weight during that time period.  Speaking of weight loss, I lost at total of 7 pounds during the month of January.  I also ran a total of 136 miles during the month.  It is easy to see that the weight loss has helped, as my average pace for the week dropped 13 seconds.

I use the Nike+ program with the iPod when I am indoors. Looks like the ice has made it up this way.
