AM: Easy miles around Lehi/Highland with Mike, Scott and Toni. So nice to run with such awesome studs. Some parts of the run felt a little tougher than easy but overall a very smooth group run. Gotta a lot of good advice from them on the run for the marathon. Scott gave me a really good reality check with what he thought was realistic or not for me. He said my goal should be sub 3 and go from there. I loved the advice on the first half should feel like "hey, I have only run 13 miles and there is no way I should be intimidated by 13 more". This sticks out to me as go out conservative and then build from there. So I am going to do this exact advice. I don't want loneliness and disappointment come to me by mile 18, 20 or 22. I just need to run within. Excited to taper now and enjoy fresh legs come next week. My legs are tired and its obvious the training and mileage has come full effect. I wish my weight was lower, but I feel lighter and that is all that matters right now. Onward and Upward from here. PHX... Make It Happen... |
