3:25, 3:15, sub 3:00 marathon? The sky's the limit! I want to see how fast I can get! :) Personal: I started running in 2009, and am still learning a lot about running. Right now I have it made, I am living in Cambridge, MA temporarily doing a Post-Doc at MIT and taking advantage of improving my running by learning from all the speedy Boston runners and hitting the hills. I travel to FL to visit my family and get some "heat" training in. Then travel back to Chicago frequently to see my husband and show off my new running legs in all the flat, fast races. |

| I was targeting a 8:30 min/mi pace since I'm supposed to be tapering for the marathon next weekend. I ran a 8:16 min/mi pace slowing myself most the way. My legs feel so much better than they did earlier in the week. I have a 5k tomorrow I was planning on racing (it will be my speed work for next week). Not sure how hard I will push it because I'm wanting to push it in the marathon. Knowing my body, I feel like I'll recover in time if I race tomorrow. Decisions, decisions... :) |

| 5k race. I PR'ed, 22:40! 7:18 min/mi pace, yea! Well, that was my last speed run before the marathon. My legs feel great. I recover quickly so I think I'm good to go for the marathon. Oh, I won 2nd female overall in Chicago! The girl that beat me was a high school cross country chick, and she only beat me my 10 sec. What great timing for a confidence booster! Can't wait to recover from the marathon and continue to work on my speed. I'm definitely going to work my way into my kinvaras again for speed workouts. :) |

| My legs are still tired from cross fit Monday. Tried to stretch them really well after my run today and keeping up with foam rolling. Hope they recover soon!!! Saturday is coming quickly! |

| My legs are still slightly sore from Monday. Doing all I can to recover them and carbo-loading like crazy. Time is ticking, less than 48 hours before the marathon! :) |

| Holy Nash-HILL!! It was hot, hilly and I crushed my PR by over 11 mins with only 12 weeks of training for this one!!! I'll tell ya, all it took was motivation and strategy. And, from this race I know I will really benefit from longer long runs. Can't wait to recover fully and hit it hard!!! |

| Ahh...an hour and a half massage thinking, "3:55, 3:55, 3:55, hot and hilly, 3:55...." :) So now I need some advice. How long do I take to recover? Last year I jumped from marathon to marathon, but this year I'm not running another until October. I want to crush training this summer so I want to do what's best for reaping the benefits of this tough marathon. So my questions are: How long to take off running all together? How long to take off speed workouts? How long to take off weight training (cross fit)? Thanks in advance for the advice!! |
