REST - 1/11/16
Had 6 miles on the schedule today - not happening. Feel like I want to rest after the 8+8 this past weekend. May go for an easy 5 or 6 tomorrow.
6 easy - 1/12/16
Really challenged myself to run this easy around 9:00mm and did it! Hope to do the same tomorrow. Wish all of my easy runs were this easy...
6 easy - 1/13/16
Wanted to get 1 mile in at around MP - check. Think this is the last run until the marathon. Scared shitless.
REST - 1/14/16
It's shut down - had a 30 minute massage which I've never had so hoping that'll do something spectacular - felt good. Glad I had it today so I have a couple days to recover from that! Oof getting close.
REST - 1/15/16
Friday - 2 days to go - had a nice walk this morning with the wifey. Right knee feels a bit odd but probably because mentally I'm a basket case. Think I'm going through the 6 stages of grief or something. Planning on keeping the feet up as much as possible.
REST - 1/16/16
Thought about going for a short run but as I didn't have time in the morning I just bagged it. Went to the expo and got my bib and talked to the 3:25 pacer - there's actually two of them - one will take over at 13.1. Anyway the starter's plan is straight 7:40 miles all the way though - slowing down a bit up the hills and speeding up down the hills. While I'd like to average 7:40 no way my first mile is going to be 7:40 so I guess (hope) I'll catch up to him eventually.
Anyway that was a little disheartening to hear how fast the 3:25 guy was going to go - he wants to 'bank' time which is exactly what I do not want to do so I guess I'm not starting off with that pace group!
Just need to make it to 13.1 in relatively decent shape where I meet my friend who is going to run the second half with me and try to keep me at 7:40 from that point on. Sure, why not???
Feel pretty good - eating potatoes and trying to take it easy. Wish me luck!

ReplyDeleteAs the Carlsbad Marathon journey enters its 14th week, it's impressive to witness the dedication and determination of the participants. Just like in a long-distance race, training for a marathon requires adaptability and problem-solving skills. This week's adjustment involving a "printer feeder" serves as a metaphor for the hurdles that can unexpectedly crop up during training.
