Boston Marathon training – Week 4

Home sweet NY!
This post is a day late because yesterday was my annual Christmas cookie baking marathon! I know, I know…Christmas is over. But my baking buddy moved to Pennsylvania this year so this was the only time we were able to get together. I guess you could call them post-Christmas cookies. This year we baked a total of five batches (M&M x2, sugar, molasses, and oatmeal chocolate chip with pecans)…quite an accomplishment with my small oven and a 9-month old who desperately wanted to “help”. We did have the help of the Ninja this year, which was a reasonable substitute for the KitchenAid.

Santa’s on a boat!

Anyway…week 4 brings me to the end of the first month of training. Only four more months to go! 

I woke up on Christmas morning with a cold. Merry Christmas to me! It’s been annoying, but luckily not enough to sideline me from training. It was a successful week, with a couple of runs at home in NY and a long run on the river on Saturday. I was bummed that I conveniently ended my run at Starbucks, but I arrived with a dead phone and no money so I had to leave empty-handed. I don’t understand how my phone battery goes from 80% to dead within 90 minutes! I am an obsessive app closer so the only thing that was running was Endomondo and music.

Total distance covered
18 miles
