I took two days off from running. It makes sense for early weeks of training to start with lower mileage. Unfortunately I didn't go according to the official training plan. It is hard to follow a set plan with changing work hours so I tend to run when my schedule allows me. But 41 miles for first week is not bad.
The long run ended up being much longer than what I had in mind. Lou and Chuck made the run look much shorter than 18.6 miles. See the route here
Next week, I'll be shooting for 5-6 days of running with definitely one day off, and about 45-50 miles.
