Day 33
Today I got up and ran 7 miles before work! Wowsers! I have to say I am tired but I feel better than I did on Tuesday, the first time I did the 7 miler. First of all my legs feel much better. I think my leg workouts have helped a lot and I have been stretching out a lot as well.
I started out with a one mile run with my dog. Then I ran 6 miles. I stopped with 1.5 to go to stretch out but the whole thing went really well. There were a few times where I could tell I was losing my technique, so I turned off my music and focused a lot on how I was running. I was running pretty fast too! My average was around 11 minute miles, which is great because typically I am closer to 12. My guess for the marathon was 11 minute miles and I may right there. Now that my husband is doing it with me, I have less control over time, at the same time my husband generally has been faster than me when training. But I will have logged more miles than him by the time we get there, so I may be in better shape. We will see! My goal is to finish...the only advantage to running it faster is that it will be done sooner! lol
