Was able to get out with the dogs for 3 after an early day at work.

Hey BABY CATCHER ~ When Angie and I did our marathon back in 2001 we trained with a group called San Diego Fit...way cool time we had. My daughter is training for the San Diego Rock and Roll Marathon next month, she is with a group....you might want to check this out ~ have fun :)

+6.25 today. Finally got back to the park. I ran the first 3.5 without a break, then walked scattered bits for the last 2.5, about .5 total walking. Better than I've done in a while!

MBN - I agree with you. My ultimate goal is to be the best runner I can be, whether it's a 4 hour marathon or a 3 hour marathon. I want to push myself in all kinds of ways until I truely reach my peak. My favourite thing about running is that I have NO natural talent for it, and everything I'll get out of it will be based purely on my hard work. I've never had a desire this big to be great at something.

That being said, once school is done for the summer I'm hoping to put much more into running. Over the past few days I've been eating like an animal. My sleeping schedule is all stupid. I've been having two 3 hour naps each day, which are usually 9am-12pm and 5-8pm hhahah. I'm realllly looking forward to running tomorrow and hope all my increased glycogen will give me a boost.

midwife - totally looking forward to upping our mileage together over the summer! It'll be fun to compare progress or miseries we're having lol. Have you looked at any training programs? I'm very loosley basing mine on smartcoach (from runnersworld). I know you said you were using time but it's kind of fun to plan it out haha. I'm going to start a 16 week one the first week of June I think.

Yesterday- hill repeats 2 miles.
Today- 3 mile easy run

+ 3 miles this morning.

3.6 miles this am.

Thanks for the marathon training tips guys!! I guess I should come up with a more formal plan!
