Going into Saturday's long run I was having doubts that I can finish my next marathon. I haven't run 20 anything in over 2+ years. But while I was a sloth on the run I at least finished it. Slow as can be that is for sure. My wall hit me sooner than I expected so I need to improve that over the next long run in a couple of weeks. That weekend will be 22 miles. My wall came in around mile 15 and lasted for the remainder of the run. So yeah that needs to change because 11 miles of wall running is no fun.
I am still debating doing the Flying Pig Marathon in Cincinnati. I heard one from our group mentioned that she wanted to do that race as well. It is a good one and tops the annual Runner's World top marathons. But that would have to be worked out since it falls a week after mother's day. And I can only travel up there for one of those weekends. But it is on my bucket list that is for sure.
Next week is only 12 miles on Saturday plus my half marathon on Sunday. So I will get a lot of miles in that weekend. Or at least a lot of miles for someone like me. A person who actually hates running for long distances. Even though my favorite race distance is the half marathon. I can handle 13 miles and do enjoy that distance. But I am seeing my times for the half getting slower and slower lately. Not sure if that is due to my age now or I just don't train correctly for those races.
