Training schedule says I will do: 14 miles
I actually did: 15.03 miles*
*19.78 miles using Aubree's Bonus Mileage System, getting 3 miles for running uphill for a total of 6 miles, 1 miles for sweating through underwear, pants, sports bra and shirt, 0.25 miles for 80+ degree weather, and 0.5 miles for traveling more than 10 miles.
Days to go until the marathon: 77
Miles to go until 1000: 700.05
I was pretty nervous about this run because I didn't really run at all during the week, plus I didn't leave for it until after 9 am and it was pretty warm and sunny. And about 0.25 into the run I realized I had forgotten to take my prophylactic ibuprofen. But all things said, it was a decent run. Yes, I got hot (and sunburned), and yes, I was in some pain over the last half of it (which I think was related to the heat as much as anything), but this was the farthest distance I have ever run which felt like a good accomplishment. I walked when I needed to (about 3 miles total, I'd guess) which is ok with me. I will be fine even if I walk half the marathon. So I feel like I'm back on track after my doubts of late.
Oh, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers played during this run! :)

Training schedule says I will do: 11 miles
I actually did: 10.66 miles*
*14.16 miles using Aubree's Bonus Mileage System, getting an 2.5 miles for running uphill for a total of 5 miles, 0.5 miles for sweating through sports bra and shirt, and 0.5 miles for traveling more than 10 miles.
Days to go until the marathon: 84
Miles to go until 1000: 721.08
I felt pretty good about this run, until I got home and discovered I had been supposed to run 11 miles, not 10 like I thought . . . grr . . . this is especially frustrating BECAUSE I felt so good, I easily could've done 11. Oh well.
Despite the fact that I clearly can't read, this was a good run. I don't know if it was the new shoes, the fact that I started at about 5 am before it got hot, the fact that I didn't work all day first, the fact that I drank gatorade the whole time, or some combination of the above, but it was a WAY better run than last week. I still had some pain, but I also think that a lot of that is mental (duh, you are probably saying), because all it took was some motivating tunes to make me forget I was hurting.
Happy 4th of July!!
