I had hoped to break 100 miles for the month but it wasn’t in the cards. I got my hours back at work which forced me to shorten my mid-week runs. I’m not complaining. I ran my 2 longest distances of 16 & 18 miles in September! Talk about a month full of milestones. It brings tears to my eyes every time I think about it. This girl never even dreamed of being able to run a mile let alone 18!
This past weekend was week #14 in my 18 week training plan. Thankfully it was a cut back week and I “only” had to run 10 miles. HA did you hear that? Only 10 miles.
I am now preparing myself for the big 20 miler on Saturday. I am thinking positive and I know it’s going to be a great run. I purchased compression sleeves for my calves and I hope they will help to alleviate some of the cramping. The weather is going to be cool and I have someone to run with. My plan is to run a consistent pace between 11:30-12:00. Sunday I will be cheering on all of my local running buddies as many of them are running their first marathon & half marathon!
you are so amazing! i wish you the best of luck on your 20 miler! can't wait to hear how it goes!

Totally amazing. You make me want to get out of the house and get some serious mileage done NOW.
ReplyDeleteThat's how I got injured the last time I got too much inspiration.
Great job.
You're doing awesome! I'm so happy they gave you your hours back at work! I know you are too!
