Yep it's been 8 weeks of Marathon training. I don't think I've completed the total mileage for any of the first 7 weeks. I'm trying to change that. Last night we got home after 9 and I had a 4 mile run to do... I got out the door at 10. The first mile was really ugly but I got the run in.
8 miles this Saturday. 17 on Sunday. Sunday will be challenging, I'm hoping to come out of it with a gain in confidence at the very least.
I do keep in mind that I've chosen a very tough training schedule for my first marathon. So I don't beat myself up too much for missing a few miles here and there. I'm sure I'll come away from this with a few lessons learned.
So far I've learned that my hamstrings seem to be having the toughest time with this schedule. I keep working on stretching the out all day long but it's not enough. I think it's time to start going for massage and find out how much of an impact that has on them. I just have to find the time to do that.
Looks like a great weekend of weather in the Northeast. Have fun everyone!

Hope you get your 17 miler in. Thats a lot of miles!
Just did my first post-Timberman run. Right now the Marathon is looking like a "haha" due to the state my body is still currently in.
Hoping for some kayaking here in the green dot of NWPA!
