Starting to feel like a runner

in New York Marathon 2007,Training Runs

When I started stalking reading Ali’s blog in July, I was captivated by her Julyathon motivation. She said keep it up, because week 2 was better than week 1. Up until today I was starting to wonder if that was really true because all I’ve wanted to up until today was give up on Septemberathon.

My 4 miles with Massoman this morning were awesome. I ran well, felt strong and didn’t stop to walk once. I was able to focus on running and not worry about dying. What a luxury. 67-degrees this morning was also a luxury. I haven’t felt a nip in the air in so long and it was certainly welcome after so many 80+-degree mornings.

My 13-mile run yesterday was pooh-poohed by constant rain and lightening. Instead I managed 3 miles, which for me is good because I hate the rain, and also bad because I missed another long run. I hope this weekend provides me with a strong long run, I certainly need it.

The past two days here in Dallas have had the most AWESOME running weather. Hope you’re enjoying it!

For whatever stupid reason, I told myself I needed to take this week off after my race and I’m sticking to my guns. Gah!

Hope it holds for the start of my marathon training…

p.s. love the house pics

Keep going Susan. Week 3 is better than week 2. Looks like it worked for Ali – she ran a 4 minute PB for the half!

I hope you’re still training. I am counting on you to pace me at 11:00/miles.
