One of the things I love about the later part of training for a marathon is being able to say things like: "I ONLY ran 12 miles today!" "Oh, I ONLY ran 10 miles yesterday!!!" After last weeks 20 miler this weeks long run was ONLY 12 miles and those 12 miles seemed to go by quite fast and I was done before I knew it!! I even negative split! I did the run with a training group yesterday morning. Next week is another 20 miler which will be at a big Detroit Marathon training run in Hines Park. I am not going to Grand Rapids for the 20 mile training run there because I need to get back home and get ready for a hayride we are hosting here for our church.
Today I went to the trail for an easy 4 mile recovery run. Not sure what came over me but I took off and felt really good, not even stiff or anything. I ran 4 miles in just shy of 37 minutes so just over 9 min miles!!!
Four weeks from today is M day!! I'm excited and nervous. This is going to be the last marathon until I'm done with school so I don't want it to be a disaster; I want it to be fun and memorable and all that so I will be ready to do another one when I'm done with school.
Well, time for some homework.
