73 days to go until marathon in Kauai!!
Tickets have been purchased...condo in Poipu beach has been paid for and now it is just a matter of completing 26.2 miles...in unknown territory. sigh. As of today, I have no idea how far I can run. On July 4th, I will be heading along the bike trail and will run until I am not physically capable of running another foot. As weird as this kind of training may sound, it has worked in the past for the 1/2 marathon I did in March. It will give me an idea of where my "wall" is and then focus my training on getting beyond it. time is ticking very loudly. The nice thing about doing this in Kauai is that it is supposed to be breathtaking...also, I have never run this course which will take away the boredom factor and I can look forward to five days of paradise afterward...and no, I do not mind the humidity...for some crazy reason, i run better in warmer conditions. The pressure is on...I feel like I cannot get all the way there and not complete 26.2...there is always the 13.1 but gosh darn, I need to do this...even if it takes me 12 hours, i will finish. Vacation starts as of saturday...should be fun! To get info on marathon check out: http://www.thekauaimarathon.com/
