So I guess I am pretty much the worst blogger ever this year!! Just because I haven't been blogging doesn't mean that I haven't been running!!! Last night I ran 9 miles in the rain after work. It was the first time all season that I ran after work. It took a little longer than usual to get into it but I still managed to finish in a best time of 78 minutes!! I'm getting super excited for the marathon since I have been able to keep up my faster than normal pace through all my runs this month!
Backtracking to some past runs.....last weekend BFF Alli was here from Oregon so we went up to Waterville Valley and spend Saturday testing our snowboarding skills! Sunday we ran 6 miles and then headed home. Not as long as I should have run but sometimes I think it is nice to take a little break and I think my legs were happy with me for it.
Last Tuesday and Thursday I ran 10 miles and 9.5 miles (I think). I know I ran at least 9.5 miles each day. I keep the best track of my running on my paper training schedule that I keep at my desk because that is where I go after most of my runs! Tomorrow I will post a pic of my super training spreadsheet (which I found on the Cape Cod Athletic Club website). Its like a spreadsheet lovers dream!
Two Saturdays ago I ran 19 miles in the windy rain! I ran with another girl from the Dana Farber team again for 14 of the miles! You can't skip a run because of the weather because you never know what the weather is going to be on marathon day!! I really hope its not raining though because the yuckier the weather, the less people come out and if no one shows up to watch its going to be a long boring 26.2 miles!
This weekend is my last long run! Its a 20 mile race that starts in Maine and usually ends in Massachusetts. This year it ends in New Hampshire because of some bridge work. My Dad and I are going up Sunday morning and its great because the roads are open so my dad can drive ahead a few miles at a time! My goal for this race is to break 3 hours, which is my previous best time for this race!
Well I need to get some rest because I have a 10 mile run planned tomorrow before work!! Good night!
