Notes:
- All I can think about right now is that I am running a marathon in one week! I feel ready! I put the training in, have been eating healthy/ lost some weight, and have a wonderful pacer and a support crew that will be out there Sunday! If the weather is decent, my goal is to run an average 9:30 pace. Really though, I just want to finish feeling good, like I didn’t bonk. So that, at any pace, would make me happy! (And really, I am always just grateful and happy to run at all, so I am sure whatever happens, I will be fine with it. I don’t get obsessed with goals for races.)
- Updated to add: Ha ha ha, I almost forgot – I did have a new monthly PDR for October – 239.8 miles. As you can tell, I didn’t know my mileage during the run, otherwise I would’ve done .2 more. Ha ha!
Themocracy
I think Mo and I both had 4 miles for that run. Interesting. Also, have you and I ever run together and it was your ONLY workout for the day? Is this you tapering? 🙂
Interesting! What watch does she use? I know you have a garmin, too! The map looks like it was pretty accurate.
Ha ha ha. Yes. That is me tapering! LOL! 😛 😛 😛
Ooooh, a sports massage. YESSSSS.
So excited for you and Xaar to run Naperville next weekend! You are going to have so much fun!!!
And oh my goodness, almost 240 miles for the month of October? WOW. Just WOW. As I always say, you are a POWERHOUSE!!!
Thank you! I am so excited too! She will be so great to run with!
Aww, thanks. Damn. I should’ve run that .2 though! Ha ha ha.
I am too looking forward to running Naperville. I just hope to finish because unlike you my training as not been that great this year, life just got in the way. But I’ll start and hope the body remembers the rest. See you soon Kimbot.
You can finish! You got this! See ya soon! 🙂
Wow-great milage for October! I am impressed! GOOD LUCK on your marathon. I love the fall running season!
Great week, Kim! Best of luck in Naperville! I plan on spectating as well, so hopefully I will see you!!!!
Yay! I hope to see you too!
haven’t figured out where we will actually be yet.. I will let you know
Congrats on your PDR for October! I will be volunteering at the start corrals at the NAperville marathon so I will definitely keep a look out for you.
Woo hoo, marathon week! Good luck and don’t die! =)
What? No double digit runs? You really are tapering! 🙂
