Hard to believe i've already completed week 7! i definitely don't feel like i could run a marathon right now, but i will get there. i just need to keep at it every week, and take it one run at a time.
this week was supposed to be: 3, 6, 3, 12, but i changed it up a bit.
monday - did a 7 mile run/walk with my friend carol. we left at 8:30 a.m. and it was already really humid. she's trying to get back into it. i love helping encourage others!
wednesday - 4 mile "tempo" (it's all relative, right?!) run. i kept my miles just under 9 minutes. felt great today!
thursday - did another 7 mile run/walk with carol in the morning. another hot day. fun to go with her again, and try a new route. we spent most of the time on trails, which i almost never run by myself.
friday -10 miles. which puts me a few miles over for the week. i guess it balances out, since i didn't run every mile. a pretty good run with only 44% humidity today, which felt so much better!

Its always funny how you can feel so "not ready" at one point in your training and then all of a sudden....BAM, you feel ready :)
Happy training!
I like to run trails with friends, too. It's harder with the roots and branches, but it's worth it. Only 44% humidity sounds so nice!
I know how you feel Wendy. I'm not sure how I'll be ready in 3 months. The plantar fasciitis has been acting up for me. I got 7 miles in today, but the majority was walking. You're doing great! I'm sure you'll be ready!
Wow, that was a great week!! Good job!!
Training seems to be going well! It's been a tough summer for training that's for sure! It's funny when trainig for a marathon, the whole time you're thinking there's no way I'll be able to do this if I feel like this now. But then it all comes together on race day!
