Heh, popped my cherry... Evil grin

Miserable day to do it, though...first I had a little wardrobe malfunction with my newest running skirt (see my log--good thing to ALWAYS do a "test run" of race day clothes BEFORE race day. Let's just say that the back of the skirt wanted to climb up under my Amphipod belt) and had to return home to put on a skirt I know won't bare my, ahem, assets. Then it started to rain as I set out and the wind picked up...then the temp dropped 10º (the roads even started to steam). 40º windchills aren't particularly conducive to wearing Summer-weight running attire. Black eye

But now I get to enjoy an easy week before my race and then 3 subsequent lower-mileage weeks before the marathon training starts. Smile

Beer here! Big grin

Great job, Zoomie! For some reason, I always end up injured when I push up that far. Try to keep your wits about you Wink

I ran a mile and I liked it, liked it, liked it.

So far, so good. 40 this year is easier than 35 was last Fall. Though today's run was kinda stiff--I think that's due to being cold and yesterday's tough run. My outer right arch is a little cranky, too...I've had some minor issues with that off-and-on for over a year, now. I think it's mild peroneal tendonitis. I'm definitely ready for a few easier weeks, now.

Good job. Viewing your log I thought you were already marathon training. What is your monthly build to goal.

Run until the trail runs out.

Congrats, Zoomy! Big milestone for you! I'm sure it won't be too long Before we will see the 45 and 50 mpw versions of this report from you.

When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?

I'm *hoping* to build up to 50mpw at my peak, so probably sometime in early Sept. That's kinda scary. Actually, what scares me is long runs when it gets hot. Me no likey running when it's much above 75.

I'm like the white Janet Jackson...except I can't sing...or dance...and I've never made out with Justin Timberlake (that's the part I'm most sad about).
