Girls, what's my weakness? Apparently it's shiny medals, because I just registered for the US Air Force Marathon! 17 weeks and counting.

I've already started my training plan, which I'm basing on the plans laid out in a book called "Run Less, Run Faster." I still need to make some tweaks to the long run pace, because I feel like the 9:45 it calls for is a little too slow. It's a work in progress, but that's ok, because the 16 week training program doesn't officially start until next Tuesday. I have the entire 3-day weekend to obsess about it.
Whee!
WPAFB I've been there a number of times. Had a big project there. Great museum. I seem to remember it being mostly flat. Too bad they don't offer any jet-packs for the runners.
ReplyDeleteOh if you have a moment - your vote over at Jillsy Girls would be great (even if you didn't vote for me just voting is a good thing)

ReplyDeleteYou are my idol Jene!!! That is awesome!
ReplyDeleteDone! I have to go back and read the whole post you entered. I somehow skipped right past it.
ReplyDeleteI've lived about an hour away for well over 10 years now, and have never made it up for a visit. It's definitely flat. I'm looking forward to checking it out.
ReplyDeleteJet-packs, now that would be nice.
Yes, probably :)
ReplyDeleteHa! It sounds like something that could be impressive, until you're in a training group with people who have run 10+ marathons and a handful of individuals over the age of 60 who can run them faster than you ;)
ReplyDeleteOMG! That will be So much fun!!!
