Week 14 Weekly Mileage: 32 Long Run: 16 I dipped out last week and didn’t write a week 13 running and leading post. I was too busy with work and with trying to keep up with training and family, so I gave myself a bye week- for writing, not running (we ran 38 miles last week).

Week 5 Mileage: 32 (I only ran 28- I fell down the steps on Sunday and my foot looked like this for the beginning of the week.) Long Run Distance: 13 (Half- Marathon Race) We ran 14 miles last Saturday, the longest distance my husband and training partner have ever run. It went fairly well, but running towards the “finish line” of this run topped it off as a memorable one.
