Well, it’s 1 week and 1 day until I’m at the starting line of the Dallas Marathon! I’m excited and freaking out, just a little.
The forecast is a little scary. It’s Texas though, so it can change 10 times before then. I do need to prepare mentally for this forecast, just in case. Race Day is December 8!
Training this week:
Sunday: Gym day, 15 minutes on the treadmill plus abs and light weights
Monday: Rest day
Tuesday: 4 miles, 9:48 pace
Wednesday: 3 miles on the treadmill plus abs and lots of stretching
Thursday: 4 miles, 8:13 pace
Friday: Rest Day
Saturday: 9 miles, 9:00 pace. Had some awesome negative splits today. Fell in behind a group running 8:30’s the last 2 miles and it felt great!
It was a little cold at the start, but close to perfect weather. We had a very yummy breakfast afterward at Another Broken Egg. That omelet has bacon, cream cheese, chorizo and jack cheese in it. I asked if the cream cheese was fat free, I told the waiter to just lie to me! I took time to snap a few pictures this morning too.
What a beautiful sunrise!
This week is light running, so I’ll hot the gym a few times. On the agenda: stretching and more stretching, foam rolling, abs and light weights.
Going to try to eat my best this week, not eating anything I wouldn’t normally eat. Gotta make sure and drink my water too.
How was your Thanksgiving?
Did you race or have training runs this weekend?
Anyone done Christmas shopping already?
Let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. Hebrews 12:1
