My new longest!!!! I am ready for UVM. I have 3 weeks left, I'm going to hit it hard this week and taper for the last 2. I averaged a 9:05 for 23.8 miles and for my last mile, I picked up the pace to 8:50 just to prove to myself that I could finish strong. I ended up on the TM for this long run. I woke up at 5:20 am and the rain was pouring, I waited until 6:00 to see if it would stop and to no avail, I checked the radar and it appeared to have a giant blob of green over Utah County so I rolled the nordic track in front of the big screen and went to town. 3:45:XX, that's a long time on the TM but it was better then the rain. I ran for only a couple minutes longer then last Saturday and added 2 miles to my distance. If I can peel another couple miles off I will meet my 3:40:00 time that I have been aiming for for my first marathon. "Thank you for another wonderful day." |
