Disneyfanz- i totally understand the doubts. I did goofy last yr as my 1st marathon and then quickly followed it w/ an off road ultra in feb, marathon in march and a marathon in april and yesterday during my lr, i was telling my husband that i don't think i can do it I can't remember how the long runs were last yr. maybe they all hurt and i just forgot!! The actual races weren't bad.
14 mile lr yesterday. the temp was in the 50;s and it rained the whole time. phil went w/ me. i guess that is his marathon training I felt miserable from about mile 12 on. our pace was around 10:56 which included a bunch of stops and some walking as phil was on call and had to return a page. It was pretty discouraging. i think i had someone to train w last yr which made it better, but i've done most of my running alone this yr and i am a very social person, so it is not any fun. i did enjoy running w/ phil yesterday. I'll be taperiing this week as we have an adventure race this weekend. It will prob. be around 12 hrs for us so it should not be too bad. i am looking forward to that.
