We had our last super long run on Saturday - 22 miles. So now I'm going into the actual marathon having passed the 20 mile mark twice. It's very good for my confidence, especially because at the end of the 22 miles I felt like I could do more. Not that the miles would be easy, just that I could do them. My last 6 miles were also among my fastest, with a few 9:06 minute miles stuck in there for an overall average pace of 9:23. If I can maintain that pace on race day, I'll finish in about 4:06. That would make me very, very happy.
I hope the next 19 days fly right by. I feel like a kid waiting for christmas!
hey you added DISQUS - I hope it works well for you. I'm happy with it. -- run like the wind
ReplyDeleteHey - can you update on Rachel? According to her story, she's on daily injections right now if my timeline's not off. How's the fundraising going?
ReplyDeleteYes, I can! Look for one after lunch time :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I thought it would be fun! I always enjoy reading the little conversations that pop up on your blog.
ReplyDeleteThat's one of the best features of it. It was that feature that gave me the idea of the ICB blog which has a few conversations but not as many as I wished.
ReplyDeleteYay only 19 days left!! Good luck with the last parts of your training.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! You are a speedy one! I am proud of my 12:30 average mile time but you blow me outta the water!
ReplyDeleteThat's funny, because I still think of myself as pretty slow :)
