Completed 12.8 miles this weekend!

Four miles on Saturday and finished 8.8 miles on Sunday. I did not intend to do 8.8 (more like 7.5) but I didn't take in to account that I had to get home...I always forget about that part. darn. Well, at least that puts me ahead in the training schedule and will complete 9 miles next weekend. The new shoes have made a huge difference and they really feel good. I had bought the old shoes over a year ago and most of the shock absorption was long gone...the gams are very happy now! After the Shamrock'n is done and the weather starts warming up, I may start doing my long runs with Fleet Feet in Midtown. They have a 13.1 mile run every Sunday morning at 8am along the American River. While the weather has been cold, I have had the luxury of running in the late morning hours and even into the afternoon but I know that will have to change when Spring/Summer hits...early morning hours for me. sigh. Tuesday, Wednesdays, Thursdays and one day on the weekend will be the new schedule from here on out. 4 miles scheduled for Tuesday, 2 fast miles on Wednesday and another 4 on Thursday. Mondays and Fridays and one day on weekend for rest. I have found that when I blog my schedule, I tend to become a little more accountable...basically, I will complete what I said I was going to do. Whatever it takes...I have 7 months to get to 26.2, without injury...doesn't seem that far away.


By the way, I am officially registered for the Kaua'i Marathon and have secured my condo...so for those needing a vacation in September, saddle up!
