Marathon Update - training weeks 7 and 8

Sorry I missed posting last week but Spring Break limited my Internet access. I just completed weeks 7 and 8 of the Hanson's Marathon Training Program for Beginners and I now understand what they mean by "cumulative fatigue" as I am adjusting to running on tired legs. I haven't been able to maintain the exact training plan but I am doing my best to be as close as possible. I have listed my workouts for the past 2 weeks below. I had a couple more rest days than the plan called for initially due to travel during the break and work.

Week 7
Sunday - Easy 2.5 miles on the treadmill.
Monday - Rest day
Tuesday - Interval Workout 8x600m with a quarter mile recovery jog at 6:44 mile pace. 6 miles total
Wednesday - Rest day
Thursday - Tempo Run 5 miles at 7:53 pace on the treadmill.
Friday - Easy 4 miles at Mary Black Rail Trail. Left leg is throbbing. I think it is the nerve again
Saturday - Took the day off due to leg.
Sunday - Easy 6 miles at Purcell Park (leg feels much better)
Total miles for the week - 22.5

Week 8
Monday - Long run 10.5 miles around Harrisonburg. A great run
Tuesday - Easy 6 miles at Purcell (leg a little sore after run). My form started breaking down the last few miles
Wednesday - Rest day
Thursday - Easy 3 miles at Purcell Park
Friday - Hike Table Rock trail 7.2 miles at hiking speed.
Saturday - Interval Workout 6x800 with a quarter mile recover jog (3:17, 3:20, 3:18, 3:21, 3:13, 3:09) with a 1 mile barefoot cool down. 6 miles total
Sunday - 9.5 miles at Croft State Park. Rocky Ridge and Foster's Mill Loop Trails in 1:30:02
Total miles for the week - 35 miles running, 7 miles hiking

Health Update - during one of my runs during week 7, I felt the nerve in my left leg begin to throb again and I again have numbness down the inside of my left leg. This happened 2 years ago and it halted my running for almost 4 months. I plan to continue running unless it gets worse. My turf toe has been much better and I even completed a trail run without the toe being taped yesterday. My right knee always hurts a little but that is almost unavoidable at this point.
Overall - I am holding up at 8 weeks in and will stick with the plan for week 9.

Taking time to soak in cold water after a run really helps me to feel better the next day.
