This past week I got all 35 miles in, but it only happened on two days. My schedule got pretty upset when I found out I had to get a tooth extraction on Wednesday. It was very sad. I sat out Monday and Wednesday's workouts due to tooth pain, then I sat out Friday's as I was recovering. So I did 9.5 miles on Monday (bike/elliptical/swimming), and then 26.2 miles on Saturday (bike/elliptical/treadmill). I now understand what runners mean when they say their legs felt like lead... the last 4.2 miles on the treadmill were pretty heavy. I'm glad I got all the miles in, though.
Week 12 is as follows: an easy 5-miles, an 8-mile slow/fast/slow, an easy 6-miles and a 14-mile long run. 33 miles total. I'm definitely going to break back into running this week. Perhaps the 5 and 6 mile easy workouts will be a good time to make it happen.
