My 4th marathon is a mere week away. I feel so strong and feel like i will own this one. My goal is to beat my PB (personal best) of 1:56:38. I can do this! My friends Mel Kinnie and Connie Corbett are running the full next weekend they are also going to kick ass...i have been doing my long runs with them the last few months and breaking away when my distance was done while theirs continued. It will be Mel's first marathon and Connie's 3 or 4th i think (sorry Connie, i can't remember). I am so excited for Mel to complete her first! One day i will be there too but for now i will stick with my beloved half's. I am thinking i will do the Legs for literacy half or maybe the St. John half in September as it will be nicer. I will have to majorly amp up my hill training. Saint John is insanely hilly. I won't strive for a PB there i would just run to run and push myself. I love a challenge! I also plan on trying to increase my 10k speed this summer and will choose a race in either July or August i think.
I had a great 6k taper run today with my boxer, Laila. She is loving running with me and i have been trying to increase her mileage. Thursday we ran 8k! The most she's ever done, it was quite warm too, about 23 and we both struggled with the heat as we weren't used to it! I don't think I'll ever get her above 10k i think 10k would be her max as her face is smucked in and i think it would be harder to breath for her running any longer. She is so strong and muscular it's crazy! My fiance, Shannon and i say that if she was human she'd be on sports illustrated as she is gorgeous too:) We are a little bias though.
Well that's all for now i will report again next week and recap the half and how my race went and probably how Mel and Connie made out too!
