I wanted to get into the habit of running before work during this week, in which I started a new job.

![Monday The week started off with a long run, as I had fallen into a Monday schedule from Boston weekend. This was the hardest run to date, I think. I slept about 2 hours, and had insane digestive problems throughout the night and morning (Classic IBS). I hauled myself out of bed at 6, and […]](https://restday.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Marathon-Training-37-370x275.jpg "Marathon Training Week 14 of 18")

![Monday Rest day! Tuesday 18km with 6x600m. My first foray into speedwork since the ankle injury. Unsurprisingly, I was a lot slower than I’d hoped to be. I’d forgotten how awesome it feels after a speedy workout though! Wednesday Rest day! Thursday 13km, pushing the speed a little bit. I felt good! Friday Just a […]](https://restday.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/20180127-2018-01-27-00.47.01-370x275.jpg "Marathon Training Week 12 of 18")

![Monday Marathon training week 10 began with a a 13km run. I had taken two days off from my long run on the weekend, to let the swelling in my ankle tendon go down a little.

![Monday Rest day. Tuesday A slow, cautious 7km run with my 5km run clinic. It felt great to be back running, albeit slowly! I was really grateful for the clinic this week. Running with people at an easy pace was just what I needed to regain confidence.

![I’d never give up on a run I set out to do! So I thought. Today, I began my weekend long run, which was a compromise of 24km, down from the 32 that my marathon training plan called for.
