Hey guys. I am sorry I keep falling off the radar. It gets a little crazy between school, training for the marathon, and then my sons' activities between baseball and theatre club. A lot going on right now.
I have been doing really well with my training runs. I did my longest run on Sunday, 20 miles. My goal for the marathon is to do a 10 min pace, but now I am rethinking it because I really feel I can go faster. I kept a 9:32 pace on my 20-mile run. That was with wind and hills. The break in heat and humidity allowed me to go faster. I made sure to fuel properly and stay hydrated and although it was not easy, I felt good and I could have gone on. I almost wish it was the marathon, lol. I am wondering if it was a fluke, or if I can keep that pace again.
My long runs fluctuate now. Last Sunday was 20 miles. This Sunday is 12 miles, then 20 the next week, 12 the next week, 20 the next week and then tapering
. There are 46 days until the marathon. Less than 2 months to go!!!!
Deb- I am so sorry to hear about your father-in-law. I am going to say prayers for your family and your mother-in-law.
Belinda- I often wonder about Cookie too. I met her on my first RT and she convinced me to join this group. I hope all is well with her. I hope the rain lets up and you get to enjoy Hawaii in the sun!
BBL,
Kristin
