Marathon Training Week 3 of 23

Week three was a bit choppy. I had a couple nights of bad sleep, so my cycling on Tuesday was abbreviated, and I skipped my Thursday run altogether. But my Friday cross-training was great. I lowered the resistance and upped the speed -- so my heart rate stayed in range, but it felt "easier" and that made it more do-able. Today's long run was great -- I finished with negative splits for the last 2 miles. I'm looking forward to a solid next week of training starting Monday!
