My first marathon will be October 2nd at the Wineglass in NY. I'll begin my official training on the 30th, which just happens to be my birthday. A gift that will keep on giving until October 2nd. Then a memory that will last a lifetime. I'm not doing this alone, thank goodness! My friend, C. will be training with me so I'll have a fantastic running partner on those long runs. I'm going to shoot for 60-70 miles a week at my peak.Yeah, we'll see how that goes. :)
I ran 5.71 miles today and it was brutal! It was 86 degrees, but the weather channel said it felt like 96 with the humidity. What a battle that was getting through just those couple miles! I tried to slow down, but it's difficult when you've been running at a certain pace through the winter and your body is used to that. Normally, it takes me 3.5 to 4 miles to warm up, then I'm good to go. But today my body was fighting me all the way. I've decided when I run tomorrow it will be MUCH earlier and cooler! This heat stinks!
