Keep On Truckin'
Another week down and 18 more miles under my belt. The belt is still locked in the same notch but I have faith that it really must change some day. This was the longest distance I've covered in a 7 day stretch and Sunday's 6 miles was my personal long-distance for a single run. The pain in my left leg is pretty much gone (I'm knocking on wood as I type this). I'm now just suffering from the same soreness I have from a hard workout. I wouldn't even call it suffering it's so minimal. That simple fact brings a huge smile to my face and has renewed my faith that this silly marathon is an obtainable goal.
My new obstacle to focus on is how to keep up the training whilst sight-seeing in Italy for 2 weeks. I'm trying to look up some jogging routes but without having any frame of reference for the land and not speaking the language, I'm pretty sure Josh and I may spend half of our time lost in Italy. Do I have to run with my passport? It could be a really great way to see the country though. I'm thinking the vineyards of Tuscany will be an awesome place to run! Only 32 days until we leave!!!
215 Days Until Race Day!!
Just run in front of me with a wine bottle and I'll follow...
ReplyDeletebeing lost is the most beautiful part of a trip to Europe, no? Get lost on a long run. No passport needed--but a little moolah will get you back via taxi if you must :o). I'm so glad you're blogging this. I blogged my first marathon. It's fun to look back at . . . I started a little late when I was training the first time:
