Training

Now I remember, its not the marathon that's tough (B.S.) its the training. Actually its all hard for me, but I'm still on track. My long run is now 14 1/2 and speed sessions are 3 miles of work (5 800's & 2 400's). I want to get up to a 20 miler and be able to do a Yasso 800 workout with 9 weeks to go. If I can end up with a few 20's and Yasso workouts by game day plus some 40 - 45 mile weeks I should be OK.

Danbury 1/2 - April 11,2010 - Kaboom

Didn't feel good, should have stayed home. Oh well. At 6 miles I though about picking up the pace and shooting for sub 2 hours. At 8 1/2 I was dehydrated and headed toward a bonk. Call it a bad day and move on.

Bunny Boogie, Darien Ct, 04/03/2010

24:47; better than the 25:12 disaster of last year and a minute off the 23:45 of 2 years ago. I ran on fairly dead legs so not a bad effort, things are looking up. Sunday I did a hilly 13.35 from the house and it was a struggle the last 2 1/2 but not monumental. Next Sunday is the Danbury 1/2 and then the training starts for real for San Francisco
