Happy 50th Birthday to the most incredible mom in the entire world!

And the best looking.

I have some fun tricks up my sleeve for her today but I cant’ let the cat out of the bag quite yet. Fortunately we all have off for Martin Luther King Jr. Day so I have some time to prepare.

Thanks for all your comments on yesterday’s long run. That run was hard, but today I feel great, not sore at all. I could run again today, but I’ll probably stick to Pilates.

Boston Training

Week 1: 36 miles
Week 2: 28 miles

Week 3:
Monday: REST
Tuesday: 4 miles easy + Reformer Pilates
Wednesday: 7 miles tempo
Thursday: Pushups
Friday: 5 miles easy
Saturday: 3 miles easy + pushups
Sunday: 17 miles long

Total Miles: 36 miles

On the agenda for week #4- the first 20 miler. The first 20 miler always intimidates me. I usually do 4- 20 milers in a training season so I’ve got to start early.

Week 4: January 17-23

Monday: Mat Pilates
Tuesday: Easy run + Reformer Pilates
Wednesday: Speed
Thursday: Easy
Friday: Tempo
Saturday: Easy
Sunday: 20 Miles Long

This morning I met my Mom for mat Pilates. I was surprised my legs actually were able to hang in there. We focused a lot on the glutes. It was a great class. Now I am off to get ready for the rest of the birthday festivities.
Hope everyone is having a great Monday!
