9 miles around the complex (yesterday)

Last night I ran the one mile loop around the complex 9 times. It was 79 degrees when I finished the the humidity was in the mid 70s. I took in 100 calories (1 GU gel) and 1.2 liters of water.

It was an odd run in that each mile felt the same. Generally I feel better after a few miles but it never got to that point. I wouldn't say it was hard but it never got easier.

Tonight I hope to run around 9 miles tonight if I can work it into the family schedule.

  1. The Phila date is closing in, but it sounds like you can handle the distance okay.

  2. Right anonymous,

    I'm not really worried about the distance. I finished my first marathon on one 20 mile long run and with this current program I'll do 4 of those. Unless I get sick or hurt I'm not worried about finishing. The question is how fast can I do it. My main goal is to beat my last time. I should be able to do that but it's been hard to tell given the heat I've been running in here. The next few weeks should give me a better idea of what marathon time to shoot for.
