How To Run a Marathon: 1 Mile at a Time...

The Seattle Marathon is on Sunday. I think my fitness is good enough to warrant my original decision to run the full. I have run a few 18+ milers in preparation, but it's a marathon and anything can happen. 26.2 miles is a ridiculous number to wrap your mind around.


I was back and forth about changing to the half marathon because I know I can run close to a 1:30. Sometimes you just have to go for it. The marathon will be scary...scary good or scary bad I have yet to find out. I will know soon enough. Regardless I plan on having fun, I appreciate the opportunity to run.

Seattle Marathon - Next Right

Two and a half weeks until the Seattle Marathon.

 

I have been signed up for 6 months. I have had numerous "off weeks" due to illness, will my training sharpen just in time for the race?... The past few weeks have been going well, but I need another 40+ mile week and another long run. I am cutting this one close for sure, I definitely need each day to be perfect. Another big week of training and a kick a$$ taper should do it...hopefully. If not, I should be ready to rip-off a PR in the half marathon.
