So this is what I'll be doing the majority of my summer :) Hopefully this helps all you runners that are creating a training schedule.

Now for the breakdown.... I researched MANY, MANY, MANY training schedules. The majority of them had the long runs on SAT. But knowing my summer schedule is super busy this year I rearranged it. That's the beauty of this whole thing its totally customizable!!! So knowing what your personal schedule is will help you set up your training schedule-don't set yourself up for failure with unrealistic goals...customize it to meet your needs :) As you can see I play Volleyball on TUE. for more than half of my training schedule, most of the schedules I researched recommended some kind of cross train activity...But don't feel you have to. What everyone has been telling me is rest if you need to, don't over do it. You want to keep your body strong and healthy for the fun part! :)  Good Luck fellow runners!!! Thanks for all the support from my friends, family, and mentors!!!
