12 Miler
Well, today Scott and I ran twelve miles. We got our long run done for the weekend! Overall it was good and I am very thankful that Scott ran with me : ) We did our mile warm up then stretched and we were off to complete our goal. Our goal pace was 9:15-9:30 and on an average we did about 9:30-10:00 for miles 1-9.5. There was times we were going a lot faster. The last 2.5 miles were stragglers. My right knee started to hurt on mile 10 or 10.5 and I couldn't run so we stopped and walked for a while. After I felt better we picked it up. The pain did go away but we decided to take it ssllooww! We were doing 12-15 minutes. We completed the run with no injuries and had a good stretch (boy, did I NEED it)! I came home and showered and will relax for the remainder of the night and of course drink plenty of water. Okay, I know it has been a LONG time since I last blogged so I need to get back into it...no excuses! Once again, Coaches and Team thank you very very much for all of your support and encouragement! You are all great and I appreciate your help, honesty and friendship. Coaches have a great trip and fyi I won't be running with the group on Tuesday and Thursday but will be there Saturday morning. I have asked Monica to update me with a running schedule for this week. Okay, gracias!

Hi Mari! Glad you were able to get your run in Friday. It's not unusual to feel a bit tired at this point in the training. Get lots of extra rest from now til your marathon to keep your immune system strong, because the stress of training can wear you down and impair your ability to fight all the bugs going around. This week was a "rest" week so you should start to feel better for your long run for next Saturday. I'll have a cool route for you to run (a little different) for next Saturday. Also, your schedule is updated for next week. Way to keep on track Mari! You are doing awesome!
