My Story of a Marathon and How I Survived it All : Day 186

Official Marathon Training

It seems I've done it again. I have forgotten to post my runs...oops!

Ok, so here's the stats from the last 2 weeks.


Tuesday, September 6, 2011

9 miles

1 hour 12 minutes 41 seconds

Average Mile

8 minutes 4 seconds


Wednesday, September 7, 2011

5 miles

40 minutes 8 seconds

Average Mile

8 minutes

My ankle was still tired from the 18 miles I ran the previous Saturday, so I decided to skip my 14 mile run scheduled for Saturday, September 10, 2011.


Monday, September 12, 2011

40 minutes 49 seconds

Average Mile

8 minutes 9 seconds


Tuesday, September 13, 2011

10 miles

Now for TODAY!!

And the big one!

My longest training run!!

{ 20 miles }

{It actually ended up being 20.2 miles, because I bumped the sensor, that connects into my iPod and keeps my mileage, at about 2.2 miles. Which means I had to restart it with 18 miles...2+18= 20 :D But, either way here's the total time.}

2 hours 55 minutes 21 seconds

Average Mile

8 minutes 40 seconds

I'm really proud of this time! At this rate, I'm totally on track for finishing the marathon in about 4 hours!! Not too shabby for a first timer!! :D

The best part of the today's whole run started just after mile 17.

I think I started to become delirious, because I started to sing along with my iPod. Not just mouthing the words, actually singing! As a matter or fact, I scared a girl riding her bike, when I came around the corner belting out one of the songs. ;D

I can totally do this!!

15 weeks down, 3 weeks to go!!!
