The week in training (2)

July 3rd - 9th
Monday Week two of Twin Cities Marathon training starts off with another S&C workout. These really work me hard right now. The balance exercises with kettlebells are really tough. For those who are interested this is the workout I'm doing right now. 
Tuesday. Happy 4th July! Today, we ran the 4th July 5K in Delano, MN. Delano has the largest 4th July parade in Minnesota and the 5K precedes the parade along the parade route. My wife and I had vastly differing experiences.
Wednesday. Rest Day. About time and much appreciated.
Thursday. Six Miles easy 
Thursday’s run
Friday. S&C kicked my arse again.
Saturday. You all know it’s parkrun day today. Today is different. I volunteered. We all need to volunteer once in a while. Events like these can’t go on without volunteers so it’s good to give back. There will be a blog post about the experience to follow.
Sunday. 10 miles. Pace felt very comfortable over the distance. I really felt that I had a few more miles in the legs at this pace. But it was the view that made it all worthwhile.
A 10 mile PR you say?

A grand early morning view to end the training phase.
This is the end of the prep phase of the training plan. Tomorrow we begin the build phase of the Best Athletics training plan. Exciting days are ahead.
