Training - 54 Days to Disney Inline Marathon

Again last week, didn't get much training in. One morning skate, but both Thursday and Friday mornings were impossible to skate due to a dentist appoointment on one morning and an eye exam on the next. I also didn't get to skate Thursday night due to rain. The rain persisted throughout the weekend, making any weekend skates impossible. Finally this morning it was clear enough, and I got to put in ten miles. I was definitely feeling the last three miles of it, so I have a ways to go to build my endurance back up. The weather forecast looks passable for this week, so I should be able to get out more often. That is what is really holding me back at this point, only skating 1-2 times per week instead of the 4-5 times I should be. Tomorrow I am going to skate east instead of west and add a couple more miles to the skate. I intend to have completed a half marathon skate in one go before the end of the week, and then draw it out from there. On days where the weather interferes, I will have to go to the gym and do weight training instead (which I really should be doing anyway).
