Today’s Run: \u00a0Rest Day<\/p>\n
I am NOT getting sick…I am NOT getting sick…I am NOT getting sick…<\/p>\n
My son has been sick the past 1 1\/2 weeks. \u00a0He has been coughing\/hacking\/blowing and sneezing all over the place for that amount of time. \u00a0BUT~I am NOT GETTING SICK!!<\/p>\n
I think that from mowing with the uber dry conditions out there right now, I just inhaled a TON of dried grass, weeds, dust and dirt. \u00a0Yup. \u00a0That’s all it is.<\/p>\n
Today is the much anticipated rest day after a Loooong run day. \u00a0It has been glorious! \u00a0Slept until 6:30 this morning. \u00a0What a lazy daisy I am! \u00a0I hardly ever sleep past 5:00. \u00a0That run yesterday really wiped me out. \u00a0It was great!<\/p>\n
This coming week is a “fall back” week in our training. \u00a0Our long run is only 12 miles. \u00a0Piece of cake! \u00a0It will be nice to only have to run for a little while instead of four hours. \u00a0Looking forward to a nice, relaxing run on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Last week we logged 40 miles. \u00a0That brings our total for the month to 70.00 miles and our grand total for the year (who’s counting?) 881.81 miles. \u00a0My goal for the year is 1,000 miles. \u00a0I am hoping to reach that within the next couple of weeks!<\/p>\n
October 1, the registration for the 50 mile Ultra I am wanting to do opens! \u00a0That particular race is March 1, 2014. \u00a0I need to count backwards on a calendar and find out when I need to begin training. \u00a0The training programs I am considering are 15 weeks programs. \u00a0I will not have a lot of time to dawdle after I finish this marathon before I have to begin training for the Ultra. \u00a0Will have to keep my mileage up!<\/p>\n
These past 13 weeks training of training for the marathon have flown by. \u00a0I think the thing that has made it so much fun is getting to train with my husband. \u00a0The poor guy has not been overly enthusiastic about this race. \u00a0He has already run two other marathons and swore he would never do another but because I really wanted to experience it for myself, he agreed to do one more with me. \u00a0He’s a keeper!<\/p>\n
I am on my own for the Ultra, though. \u00a0He loves me but a guy has to draw the line somewhere \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
34 more days and you will no longer have to listen to training stories. \u00a0I bet you are counting the days (but probably just because then I will have to find something else to talk about!). \u00a0Both my husband and I now feel confident that we can complete the race. \u00a0Probably not set any records but complete it, yes.<\/p>\n
Bar Harbor, Maine, here we come!!!<\/p>\n
