Boston Marathon training – Week 10

Pre-long run smoothie ingredients

And just like that, we’ve made it to the halfway point! This week the training plan also upped the ante to running four days a week (from the previous three days)…which is no joke. 

Never leave home without your burrito card

Instead of my usual Saturday morning long run, I decided to head out on Sunday for a burrito run. For those of you who are not familiar with this (which is probably most, since I’m pretty sure we made it up), it’s a run organized to finish at a burrito spot, preferably El Pelon. It just so happens that one of their locations is by BC which makes it super convenient to tackle Heartbreak Hill…which is super good practice for marathon day. At least that’s what I keep telling myself. It is fun and motivating to know that there are friends (and yummy burritos) waiting for me at the end of the run.

After the run on Sunday, my friend (and fellow Liver teammate) and I baked more cookies for the 50:50 raffle we’ll be holding at the UNC-Duke game this Wednesday (9 PM at the Baseball Tavern). We baked Valentine M&M cookies and Butterfinger cookies – and don’t worry, I did some quality control to make sure they were acceptable.

Goals for next week
Show some liver love on the team run (for real this time) – I’m getting on a bus and running to the finish line. I may even wear some Valentine’s Day socks.
