ACK. I made it through 4 months of training, with just about 2 months of 2x/week workouts, injury free! Ran my last "big" workout before my races - 2 mile warmup, 3.5 mile progression up through the paces (8:57, 8:34, 7:57, 7:15 for the last half mile), 1.25 mile cooldown. Now it's time to eat shit up and get shit done!
Great news!

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

Scotty - have fun at your races this weekend. I was in the mood for pancakes or French toast this morning, but DH was cooking and he wanted to make scrambled eggs instead. Maybe tomorrow? PAD - that is a huge number of intervals. Wow. D - enjoy your 6 and Pilates this evening. Do you run first or go to class first? Mitch - have a good run this evening. Z - Enjoy your taper. You must be excited to be so close. Have fun in Ashland. What play are you going to see? HopesMom - have fun tomorrow at the game. Tracilynn - does it hurt to sleep in compression sleeves? I've never understood how that works. Jerry - good job getting your gym workout done. Have a good run later. Brilliant - enjoy your rest today and run tomorrow. Jack - that is insane! Nice that your one daughter can drive herself or you would really be trying to split yourself in three. Good thing this is a quiet time for your running/racing. Lauren - good luck with your race tomorrow. I'm so glad you made it through the training without injury. Bin - good job on the long run. You managed to outrun the poo monster this time, hurray. AFM: windy and cool here. Beautiful day. I'll do 5 or so later.

Due to the heat, I go to class first. By the time I'm done it's 7pm and not as hot as 5-6pm.
6 miles done right before dark.
