The marathon training is finally getting up into the double digits. Our long run this weekend was 10.5, which was a lot rougher than I remembered it being when we trained for the 1/2 marathon. Nothing really started hurting until about 7.5 miles in, but at that point there were still three miles to go. […]

Saturday – 8.65 miles Monday – 6.2 miles Friday – 3 miles Total 17.85 miles

Official times are posted. I came in with  a clock time of 57:17 and a chip time of 56:27. Not even close to last year, but I can live with it for now.

So I’m trying to get a Nike+ plugin uploaded to my page here. Since we’re training for the Disney Marathon, I thought it’d be cool to load all of my stats onto the blog as well. Maybe it will help keep me motivated when I’m running if I know the handful of people reading this […]

So this was a couple of bad weeks for my training. My foot was a little jacked up for a while and then I managed to catch the plague. I’m still in the recovery process from the illness but plan to be getting back on schedule this week. I’ve run off and on over the […]
