I started marathon training in January. I still have 22 states to finish and I had hoped to do them all last year. I’ve been following the Runners World advanced marathon training plan. It’s not that advanced if you’ve done any running before. It’s been a rough winter but somehow I’ve managed to get most of the runs in and I even had a beautiful run Friday night after it had snowed 16″. I’ve even been able to stand running on the treadmill since I care so much about getting my mileage in.
Yesterday there was a 4 mile race in Prospect Park. I looked forward to finishing it because I thought I would be at under an 8 minute/mile pace by this point in my training, but I finished a disappointing 32:02, so right at 8 mins. My finish time was partially due to a slow first mile (9 mins+) because there were something like 5,000 runners on the course, but if only I had been a few seconds faster…
My first marathon in over a year is just a couple weeks away! At this point it’s actually difficult for me to find races that will fit with my schedule, since a lot of the states I need to do are in the fall. I still haven’t gotten my drivers license so I have to stick with urban marathons in general to make transportation easier. Hopefully all my training pays off and I have a quick marathon this month.

When you haven’t run a race for a while times can be slow. You will get into race shape as you do more.
Looking good
All Love
