My last two runs were 3 and 5 miles, respectively. That 5 mile run, which occurred this morning, marks the halfway point in part one of my marathon training. I do expect the 2nd the half to go faster, since I won't have to take it soooo slow to baby my ITB back into running shape.
However, oddly enough, there are 8 more weeks left, and 17 weeks in the part II schedule. That's 25 weeks. I only have 19 weeks left before my next marathon. Sheesh. And I started really early, too. However, only 8 weeks into the part II schedule, has me running 20 miles. Thats just 16 weeks... in the 25 weeks I have left, I can get up to 23 miles, and then have some active rest weeks. That shall be the plan. Ryan Hall is a big proponent of training hard right up to a major event. He doesn't run very long at all for those periods, but the same intensity is there. I'll be trying to take that approach this year.
I am due to run 4 miles tomorrow, but I might swap a rest day, since I'm pretty sore after today's run. And, I really need to get the bench on my deck done.
