Today marked 45 days and counting until the Baltimore Marathon. This was quite the eventful week for me too in regards to that. For the second strait week, I had a very good week of running. I ran 44 total miles and my 7 mile time was one of my best ever (I almost beat it today, but slowed up between miles 3-4). Even my long run of 17 miles was ran below my marathon goal pace.
This all led me to officially signing up for the Baltimore Marathon. This past week I registered, sent in my shirt size and am gearing up to go. I would like to thank my mom for taking care of the registration as my birthday gift. I look forward to using it to finish my first marathon.
School has started this week causing life to need a little balancing. With all the classes I am taking and all the driving (out to Orrville, OH twice a week), it is going to take me a few days to figure out a new routine. I didn't run the first two days this week but was resting Monday and just didn't find the time or energy to do it yesterday. Today I pushed out my 7 miles and think I may need to start running mid day. Going to have to start bearing with the heat! Haha, just kidding, its CLEVELAND! The mid day temps are already not bad at all.
As I am here eating my hearty salad for lunch, I figure with 45 days to go, 'Lets see what I can do'. I have already beyond surprised myself at my new fitness and running ability/passion. I wonder with 45 days of being super good with eating and running, what pre-race fitness level could I attain? Judy has been strong with me while kicking sugar to the road for 30 days and that is half way through. This wont be too hard to add to it? Will it?
