A few random notes about my marathon training...
Dave and I just joined the local YMCA, at least temporarily. Up until now, I'd been completing my training runs in the morning, before the kids were up and Dave needed to leave for work. But it's been more and more difficult to run outside at 6 AM. I'm a little klutzy, and I was getting concerned that I may injure myself running on the city sidewalks in the dark! It was either join the Y, or invest in a headlamp!
My long run partner, Val, and I completed a 16-mile long run this past weekend. The longest we've gone up to this point is 18 miles. We do 20 this Saturday, and we're looking forward to the challenge (right Val?)!
Please let me know if you are interested in hearing more about my marathon training, or if you have any general questions about training, by commenting on this blog post. Do you picture yourself being fascinated by the details of each and every run, potential injury, running-related toenail problem, etc.? (Some runners eat this up...I'm NOT kidding). Or not so much? I'd love to know what YOU think. Really. Thanks!
I would love to be able to encourage you, Lori! I think your insights on training are helpful. I don't have as lofty a goal as a full marathon, but I am trying for a 1/2 marathon one day and your posts on training are often food for thought. So, if that means reading entries on your training, then, yes, I would love to read them and learn and encourage at the same time!
