This run didn't go how I had hoped it would. 2 weeks ago I ran 26.2 miles as a long run on a flattish course and did it in 3:21. I was hoping I would at least be able to beat that time, but I didn't. I was sick for more than a week leading up to the race, and the day of the race, so I had my doubts about how I would do. The night before the race I said to my brother that I was excited for June, because I knew this race wasn't going to be great, but maybe the one in June would be. RIght after finishing this race (if you can call it a race) I was so mad at myself for already having signed up for another. But now after a few days, I am ready to start training and do another one.
I took a lot of time off of training for this marathon for school/health reasons, but leading up to the marathon in June I shouldn't have anything (maybe injuries/sickness) that should sideline me for very long.
