Week 6 Marathon Training completed ... only 10 weeks to go!

Today was a rest day although I was supposed to be doing a 1 mile open water swim in Coniston but I wimped out!  The weather has been awful with torrential rain and high winds! I haven't been able to go open water swimming for a number of weeks with one thing and another so decided that rather than brave the elements today and risk putting myself off Open Water completely that I would just not bother!  I am not a strong enough swimmer to fight strong currents and rough waters! 

However, I am another week closer to Dublin Marathon and thankfully I have survived another week injury free! 

This week was a "recovery week" so my mileage is lower than last week to give my body time to get stronger!

Running: 26.09 miles in 4 runs (4.92 in 1 trail run and 21.17 miles in 3 road runs).
