Training Days 31-35/57 til Marathon

Update through training day 35. Been a good week. I have logged 35 miles so far for the week with one day left. Workouts have been going good. I definitely have taken advantage of the 2 rest days. Hopefully they will help me as my mileage increases.
My 2 rest days were Tues and Thurs. All I did was stretch and do soft tissue work on my plantar fascia to hopefully get rid of the pain from it being inflamed.
Wednesday: I ran 7 miles. Ran in the early evening. The humidity makes it difficult to increase the pace. Ran on running trail today. As long as can stay around 10 min mile pace, I am good with the training. After my run performed 2 rounds of full body workout as fast as possible with 1 min rest between rounds.

2 rounds of following:
30 push ups
10 pull ups
30 squats
25 bridges
12 alt db curls 25#
30 sit ups
Friday: I ran 8 miles on this day. I ran at night, still very humid. There was not a dry stitch of clothing on my body when done. Ran on the running trail and through the town. I had few hills on the course. Nothing major but still good climbs. Allowed for good mixture. After running performed 2 rounds of the workout again. Great workout this night. Completely worn out!

Saturday: This morning ran 13 miles. Today's course had some long climbs, one was over half mile. It had couple of steep spots. This was the second run in less than 10 hours apart. The humidity this morning was thick. Sweating before 1/4 mile. I think the humidity got best of me, cause I ended up walking 1 mile of the 13, or might have been the time between runs. I did not keep my pace of 10 min mile, but I managed to finish.
One more run for the week. We will see how it goes tomorrow. I just will continue to push on. Until tomorrow, have great night.
