I'm attempting to run my fourth and fifth marathons this fall consecutively. The Marine Corps Marathon on Oct. 26th and the Philadelphia Marathon on Nov. 23rd.
I'm still here and hanging on tight!

This has been a super busy week with Back to School Night and a teacher conference on Friday. I also had two big assignments due for my online classes (one of which is still not finished and due today, ugh).
Workout wise, I felt like it was okay. I tried to get more core work in this week and succeeded but my running mileage wasn’t what I had planned. Eh well, I know that no matter how much I try to stick to the marathon training plan I set out for myself, I’ll have to be flexible. As long as I get to the starting line of both marathons healthy and well trained, I’m most of the way there.
This weekend's long run was supposed to be 8-9 miles but I wasn't feeling it so I decided to do the CC Press Play day....a day late. It psyched me up enough to run 7.15 miles so it worked, that was 7 miles longer than I felt like running, lol.
Up next weekend…..final 22 mile long run.

Yes, yes, yes! I can relate to every bit of your latest blog entry as my work schedule has also been full of late, making the training schedule a bit more of a challenge. But like you, I'm hangin' on!
Absolutely cracked up at the comment that it was 7 more than you felt like running. |
