Today’s Run: \u00a05.50 miles<\/p>\n
We ran as early this morning as we could get ourselves up and around. We hit the road between 6:30-7:00 am. \u00a0The temp. was already in the upper 70’s and the humidity was at 89%. \u00a0Toasty!<\/p>\n
Today we ran the old tried and true~Schaeffer’s Chapel. \u00a0You already know how I feel about that route but I will tell you again…I love running Schaeffer’s Chapel. \u00a0It is my absolute favorite route! \u00a0But, I forgot that there is hardly any shade on this route so it was a little warm today.<\/p>\n
BUT~it was an awesome run!!!<\/p>\n
So Summer is finally here…And it is here to stay, until November or so. (We ran a half marathon this past November 7 and it was 70 F. by the end of the race! \u00a0I remember melting towards the end…too hot!)<\/p>\n
Slowly but surely we are getting acclimated to the warmer temps and none too soon! \u00a0We will be beginning our “long runs” for our marathon training on Saturday mornings~runs that will take 4-5 hours to complete. \u00a0We need to be adjusted to the heat and humidity. \u00a0So, mornings like today are great! \u00a0Let us see…if we begin our long runs at 5:30 am when it is only 70 F. and it takes us 4-5 hours to complete a long run, it should be…85-90 F. by the time we finish the run. \u00a0Maybe it will rain every Saturday morning and we will stay cool? \u00a0One can always hope!<\/p>\n
Looking forward to this marathon training! \u00a0Excited and terrified! \u00a0Looking forward to the race itself! Excited and terrified! \u00a0I am already having “race dreams”, dreams where I finish the race three minutes after they close the course. \u00a0Dreams of forgetting to pack my running shoes so I have no shoes in which to run the race, dreams of getting lost on the course….you get the general idea.<\/p>\n
So, for the next 18 weeks of training, I will be a basket case. \u00a0But what a great way to go~training my heart out, fretting and stewing and having the time of my life! \u00a0Cannot wait!!!<\/p>\n
