My seventeenth week of running. Hmmm...how do I feel. I seem to be running slower now than a month ago, but I am adding more mile now that I am training for a full marathon. I am now running 25 miles a week compared to 15 miles a month ago. The added miles take some getting used to, so I hear. That is ok, to me it is not about speed but endurance. I want to be able to complete the full marathon (26.2 miles) with as little walking as possible.
This weekend I will be running in the Long Beach Marathon. I am only doing the half marathon (13.1 miles). It is actually a part of my training program, or I should say it fits in well with the training program. Instead of running my long run with my group, I will do the marathon.
I am still in love with running and am anxious to see how well I do a year from now. I have to remember that I am 45 years old and just beginning my running career!
