geez much better training for your first then what I did for my first. I know you have a busy schedule but have you thought aabout changing tho's 4's to at least 5's???
the 4's eventually become 5's... no pushing me along to fast there lady! I don't want set-backs... and I like feeling good. I'm at the highest mileage I have EVER been at.

Ditto on the congrats! I thought of you when I was running on the trail during my last long run, heading towards the city. I thought of how that 20 miler you talked about will take us into Philly and how that will be the first time that I've run into the city like that. I'll be excited and freaked out all at once.

Anybody got an 8 week plan?
I DO I DO 8-10-8-10-8-17=59 8-10-8-10-8-20=62 8-12-10-12-23=65 8-10-10-13-16=57 10-12-13-10-22=67 10-12-13-12-22=69 10-12-10-10-13=53 8-8-5-5-26.2=52.2
I meant like a real plan and stuff. Not this ultra nonsense.
and here I thought you were ragging on me asking about an 8 week earlier in the thread You really thinking of running a marathon in early October?
I am registered for Chicago which is on Oct 12. I am barely back to running (see sad log). I think I need to baby it one more week and then start ramping it up. Surprisingly I still feel a good amount of speed in my legs. I am pretty sure I could still go sub 20 for a 5k, but I am just too scared right now to go intense. I am sure I could finish. But I don't want to risk further injury and miss Monkey. Am I making sense?
I saw your log. If it were I ( and it's not and I know you didn't ask but I'll say it anyways) , I'd do it as a training run KNOWING that there is a good chance of DNF. Dh did that with a marathon last year. Well her didn't DNF but he didn't come close to anything he was really happy with. However 4 weeks later he took off an hour and 10 minutes giving himself a nice PR (for him).
