Well, today I ran the hilly run for 1:40 at an easy pace. It was GREAT! Since I usually let someone else guide when we are on the Foot Hills path and don't pay too much attention I didn't take the same path that we run on but I got good practice on the hills. I tried to take the same path couldn't connect to it : ) I took a few different trails. I did about 1:10 on the hills and ran on the street surface the remaining time. Also, I started with smaller hills and gradually increased to the stepper hills.
Today I browsed through the P.F. Chang's Marathon website and became nervous and a little sick to my stomach. It so exciting to think that I am that much closer to the date...but I need to take it one step at a time!

Hey Mari!
Good run! You've come a long way. The trails are a great way to get in a long run. It has a couple of benefits:
1. It's softer ground.... better for your joints.
2. It's beautiful and it's so easy to just get "lost" out there.... great for a long run! :)
3. The hills strengthen your running muscles.
It is sooo exciting to think January is creeping up. You are going to do just fine....yes, one step at a time. Remember, it is about the journey and it's not ALL about running... as a matter of fact, very little of it is about running. It stregthens your mind and your spirit! Keep up the good work Mari!
