Objective: 8 mile run I was nervous during today's run! I was picturing the starting line and first 8 miles of the marathon during the outing, and the butterflies were fluttering around in my stomach during the first mile. Once I clocked that in at 7:15, I calmed down and maintained the desired pace - right around that time for the first four miles, then sped up to 7:01, 7:01, 7:08, 6:58 for the last four. The total for the 8.14 miles was 58:08 (7:08/mile), which is pretty close to where I want to be at that point next week. I felt strong as usual, and took a Gu gel at 4 miles to make sure my stomach is ready for them during the race. I can't believe that the marathon is only a week away..full pre-race write up coming on Saturday. 17 weeks down, 1 to go! Pico and back

| Objective: 4x 400 repeats Today was the final speed workout before the race, and it went very well. Aiming for the 1:30 area for my .27m laps, I got 1:32, 1:33, 1:36, 1:29 before jogging home. This was the first interval workout I did in the morning, but with the shorter distances it wasn't a problem. One more short run tomorrow and it's off to the airport! | |

Objective: 2 easy miles
Well, here we are - the day before the marathon. The last 18 weeks have been interesting..lots of running, a baby, and lots more running. I'm here in upstate NY at my father's house with the family to give marathon #2 a shot, and try and BQ by the end of it. I'm happy with the running portion of my training..I only missed a handful of runs when our son was born, thanks to waking up super early in the morning many times to get outside. I'm disappointed with myself in the other aspect though - I barely ever made it to the gym, and even gave up on pushups and crunches early in the training. I don't really have a good reason for giving up on those things, and if I don't get under 3:05 tomorrow I'm pretty sure that'll be the reason. My 20 milers didn't go well either, due to a variety of reasons (bonked at 14 on one after 10 the previous day, no time after the baby came home, did 16 the day before instead, had to quit at 10 due to a bad stomach), but I'm not too concerned about that..the rest of my training should cover the 26.2. In order for this to work out tomorrow, I'll need everything to go right - if my stomach is strong, I'll have enough Gu to stay fueled - if I am well fueled, I can ignore the pain that will be in my legs to finish the race strong. If I feel good but just can't keep up the pace for the whole distance, at least I'll have a new low PR. Nothing to do now but run the race! |
