Weeks Total: 64 miles

This was a solid week. The miles were a bit low due to trying to freshen up the legs for the race, but overall it was a good week. The workout on Tuesday went well and the race on Saturday, while not great, was a good indicator of where my fitness is. There is still lots of work to be done in order to get ready for the marathon and the miles and work will increase over the next few weeks.
