Catching Up with My Training Log! Week 2 - Week of November 8th

I've been busy with work and life that only now I get to sit down to update my blog!  It's my day off, but my wife works!  Since October 31, I ran 16 times logging 101.57 miles.  That's 12 hours 16 minutes and 16 seconds of running!  I need to increase the mileage this month and continue incorporating hill workouts.  One area that I have been so bad at doing is my core workouts.  It seems that with every marathon, I tell myself that I need to work my core, but I never do...until now!  I started about two weeks ago doing 100 sit-ups every other day.  I started doing them everyday four days ago increasing to 150 yesterday.

Here's my training log for week 2:
