You are doing great! I love reading your training, it gives me ideas that I may just one day try. When is your next race?

Glad to see you running after your amazing win!!! Whoo hoo!!

From kelsey on Tue, Nov 04, 2008 at 16:18:13

Aw thanks :) I am in a weird position, since I have historically run better with more rest, but I know I am doing the complete opposite of what Sasha recommends. I don't know if I want to amp up my usual training for my next race or try a method closer to what Sasha recommends. It might be worth a shot. But I don't have to worry about that yet, because I am in the HOME STRETCH!!! Yay! My marathon is November 29th, so really I just have a 20 miler and some tapering left. Thanks for your support ladies :)

Nov 29th? Which Marathon is that??

Sasha is great and amazing, but I think you have found what works for you. We are all different, so stick with it!!

Enjoy a great taper after your 20.

BTW, what age group are you in? You look young (I am sure you are!!!)

From kelsey on Tue, Nov 04, 2008 at 16:39:04

Yeah, I am a youngin, only 24. The marathon I am running is a super super small marathon called the Mississippi Coast Marathon in Waveland, MS. Probably only about 150 people, and the first girl usually runs between 3:30 and 3:40, so if I run a really good race and get a BQ I should also be around top 3! That adds even more excitement, so I am just hoping for a great (uneventful) 20 miler so I can get rid of any training anxiety, and then an even better race. My biggest fear is to get injured during my last long run!

Oh, then you should win (females anyway)!!! That will be fun!!! You are gonna have one heck of a PR.

From Nevels on Tue, Nov 04, 2008 at 18:33:02

After what you did at Lake Caroline, I think Kelli is right: you should go for the win at the MCM. Best of luck, and enjoy the taper.
