Marathon Training Week 4 of 23

Week four was a "cutback" week -- where I upped my Monday run by 5 minutes, *didn't* run on Thursday, and dropped my Saturday run by a mile. Tuesday night I didn't sleep well, so I opted to run after work instead of that morning. It was supposed to be just a 40 min run followed by striders, but instead I ran with some friends and really pushed it, running a 10k in the South Salem hills where the first half was all uphill, and then the second half was all back downhill. Rather than 4 sets of striders I gave a good kick in the last 1/2 mile of the 10k (which I'd already negative split with the downhill's help) -- so I opted for just one set of striders.

Here's the link to my uphill/downhill 10k.

Next week on Sunday I'm running the Pacific Crest 10 with some friends, so my week 6 totals will be higher than usual. But I'll be doing the 10k at a slower pace, so it should be OK.
