So I have less than 7 weeks until the marathon. I can't believe that I will be running this race so soon! It seems that this is all I can really think or talk about.
Yesterday, I returned to the treadmill after spending Tuesday on the elliptical machine. My legs were really sore on Tuesday so I decided to change up my training a little bit. Yesterday I managed to complete 7.5 miles on the treadmill. In many ways, I felt like it was much harder than running the 16 miles I completed last Saturday! How weird is that? This morning, I am definitely feeling the impact on my system, and my legs are really sore again.
I am hoping that if I can stretch all day, that I will be in good shape to run a long distance tomorrow. I am still debating on whether to run 16 miles again or to amp it up to 18 miles. Kishore and I are going on a mini-vacation next week to Costa Rica and I won't have an opportunity to really train there. I am sure we will be tired with all of the hiking and activities that we plan to do, which will be good that I will be active, but I have to factor that into my marathon training at this point. I will be missing a group run on the 15th but hope to resume training that next week.
Anyway, I will keep you all updated as to how far I run tomorrow! Have a great weekend.
