Hey there everyone,
I'm sorry! I have been neglecting this blog, but on the bright side I haven't been neglecting my training. In fact, just the other day I pushed my long run distance up to 10 miles. Boy did I pay for that one the next day!
I am still suffering from a bit of knee pain after a run, oddly enough which knee keeps switching. As of now I'm not all that concerned with it. I think it might just be breaking in the new shoes. Oh that's right, I got a new pair of shoes when I realized I had about 600 miles on my last pair.
I stuck with what I knew and got another pair of Adidas Marathon 10's I love these shoes. They are lightweight and feel great to run in. The only problem is they were discontinued a while back and they are getting harder and harder to find in my size. So I might be in the market for a new pair before long.
I have found that making the time to run is actually my biggest hurdle. I seem to be able to adapt to new distances fairly well and I am confident that I can reach my goal of a marathon if I can continue to make time to train. With runs reaching up to an hour and a half its hard to make my free time fit with daylight and good weather.
Oh, that's another thing...WHERE IS SPRING!? I have come to detest the treadmill and just want to run outdoors. There is something so much greater about it, but with temps in the 30s its hard to will myself to go run an hour and freeze to death in the process. I don't exactly have the best cold weather running gear so it makes it difficult.
Anyway that was just a quick update, I actually have a lot of things to share in the coming days. See you soon!
211 Days until race day, and I am confident as ever I will be ready!
