1. Run More: May miles totalled 137.73!! By FAR my highest mileage month ever.
2. Lose 8: Down 2 pounds. Only 3 to go!
3. Sub-6 marathon: I should revise this to sub-5, THAT'S how well everything is going.
4, 5, and 6 - no progress whatsoever. I'm hoping that with school ending for summer, these will be easier to maintain. We'll see.
Everything has been going so so well as far as running is concerned, that I'm starting to get paranoid, waiting for the WHATEVER to happen. I came out of my 20 confident as hell, but after watching a few strong runners struggle with the beast that is the marathon, I was quickly reminded that ANYTHING can happen on race day.
But I am SO SO hoping that 6/18 is my day. We'll see, I guess!
Happy Running Day!! I'm heading out for 6...
Way to make progress on those goals! Don't let the impending race paranoia get ya - hard work pays off!
ReplyDeleteAnything can happen on race day, you are right. Start giving yourself mental pep talks early on in the race. That's what I did to get my sub 4:30 and it totally worked.
ReplyDeleteSweet! There is nothing like going into race day feeling strong! and coming out of a 20 feeling strong is the best!
ReplyDeletewell this post just has "happy" all over it.
ReplyDeleteWay. to. go!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It WILL be your day! Believe it! You've rocked this training cycle!
ReplyDeleteBobbi, you're rocking your goals!! I am so impressed with your mileage. Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteI wish my training cycle went as well as yours. You are going to rock at Grandma's!!! :)
ReplyDeleteDon't let taper madness get to you. (Do as I say, not as I do! I'm already going bonkers enough for both of us.)
ReplyDeleteYou WILL tame the beast known as "Grandma's" and I'm super excited that I'll be there to see it!!
Awesome monthly mileage! And 6/18 will be your day! You have been doing so well with training!
ReplyDeleteLove that monthly total! That's amazing! And I hope your leg gets to feeling better. A little time off will be well spent rather than trying to run through it. Try not to panic and take some days off. That marathon's coming right up!
