1 1/2 Months to Go

With just a little under a month and a half to go, I now have long runs of 15.5, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 21 miles in (some I did multiple times if I felt I struggled a bit the 1st time). I built up my long distance a little bit more each week, as my weekly mileage also continues to climb. I’m now running 50 miles a week and felt if I had to run a marathon this week, I would be ready (Something I would not have said 2 weeks ago). Over these next few weeks, I will really be focusing on my pace. I’ve done that the last 2 weeks and have been consistent from mile 1, to mile 20 (or so the Garmin tells me). So now I am going to see if I can pick up the pace slightly, which my husband would appreciate. Give me one more week and I will be ready to announce my goal time to cross the finish line. Did I forget to mention how nice it is that the warm weather is finally here for good (I Hope).
