Week Workout Challenge...results to follow



Was just reflecting on this weekend's recent long run of 20 miles and how thankful I am that I can somewhat train for my next marathon. However, I need to continue all efforts to prevent injuries. I've decided to include more cross-training in order to practice what I preach. We'll see how this schedule works out. Looks like a 6am wake up call. So early to bed, early to rise! Here's this week's workout schedule starting Sunday, Sept. 1, 2013:
