Rachael and I went to a fundraiser last night for three of the participants in Team in Training that are running in Chicago in October. I was able to talk with one of the coaches for a while. Apparently nobody really runs the whole marathon. Most people use some type of interval for almost the whole thing. They train by running 5 minutes and then walking 2 minutes. I am still hoping to get to where I can run 5 minutes......
This morning was just 30 minutes of walking. I was feeling pretty good, so I decided to run on 2 of the flat/downhill parts. On the first one, comfortably ran almost 4 minutes until I got to the start of the big hill and walked it. I also finished with a little run of about 1 1/2 minutes. My foot was good a sore this morning and all day. I hope the new/custom shoe inserts will be here soon and make a difference. Still able to log 1.9 miles today. Still looking for a flatter place to run. By the way - I finally ran enough cumulative miles to equal the actual marathon. I hope I can run in less than 13 days in January.
Cumulative miles since the start of training: 26.85 miles
